If he believed that he literally came forth from the body of Aten,then he may have considered himself as god. | |

The comments here seem to be assuming a literal interpretation, which I do not believe to be necessarily held by the Quranic author. | |

| Dec 3, 2021 at 23:49 | comment | added | ميخائيل مينا | thank you. Aten was addressed by Akhenaten in prayers, such as the Great Hymn to the Aten: "O sole God beside whom there is none". compare that with, Quran 79:24 And said (the king pharaoh), "I am your most exalted lord." so remains the question of Steve Bird. | |
