Egypt is the pinnacle of the ancient world, the apex of culture, power and wealth. But in the centres of power, conflict erupts; a novel heresy threatens to undo the pantheon of elder gods and plunge the country into chaos. A monotheistic pharaoh, Akhenaten, is plotting to usurp the old religion and promote Aten as the only god. But the old gods will not go quietly. As the battle for power rages, the empire is placed in peril; and the people of Egypt are torn between the old gods and the new. At the centre of it all, one family: Akhenaten and his brother Moses. Will they lead the country to a new religious renaissance, or destroy an empire that has lasted millennia? Tutankhamun's Uncle is an epic tale of power and faith in the ancient world that will change your view of history and religion forever.
