OPENING_SCENE

It is circa 1340 BCE, in the Late Bronze Age, during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV) of Egypt's 18th Dynasty. The pharaoh has upended the old gods, proclaiming the Aten—the sun disk—as the sole deity, and relocated the court to his new city, Akhetaten (modern Amarna), a gleaming metropolis of temples, palaces, and ateliers rising from the desert. Egypt's empire stretches across Canaan and Syria, secured by vassal kings who send tribute, daughters for the harem, and sons as hostages
