(c. 1352–1327 BC)
A term used by Egyptologists to denote the reigns of Akhenaten and his successors, Smenkhkare and Tutankhamun. The period is notable for innovations in art and religious belief and ended with the abandonment of Amarna as Egypt’s capital. The rulers of the Amarna period were later suppressed from Egypt’s historical record by their successors.
