18 will provide more detail of Amen Hetep Son of Hapu’s building
activities.
The other reason Amen Hetep Son of Hapu undertook the Sem
Priest role in the Jubilee was that the second son of Amenhotep III, who
was Amenhotep IV, was too young at the time. Amenhotep IV became
co-regent and erected his own Jubilee-Coronation Temple at Karnak in
1364BCE. In the Jubilee, Amenhotep IV took the new name Akhenaten
(Akhu En Aten), meaning well pleasing to the Aten. The Aten (Pa Aten)
appeared in each of the forty-two shrines of Egypt in the Jubilee Temple
to bless the new king. At death, forty-two judges on earth and another
forty-two in heaven would assess a Pharaoh’s soul according to its actions
when in the body. Both the Israelite connection and the forty-two names
of God are quite apparent.
Akhenaten ceased work on the Temple of Amen Re in Karnak in
1350BCE. He switched to constructing the Temple of Aten in 1353BCE
and established Yahweh-style monotheism in Egypt under the High Priest
Meri-Re. In doing so, he rebelled against the ceremonies of the Afro-
Asiatic sacred marriage practiced by his father Amenhotep III. So close
were relations between the Amarna dynasty and the post-Hyksos kings of
Assyria that in about 1365BCE Burnaburias II of Babylon even accused
the Assyrian king Assuruballit of being vassal to Akhenaten.
Akhenaten’s new religion was not to last. Egyptians quickly
upset this Indo-Hittite innovation, which deplored the sacred marriage of
Amun and was associated with the miseries brought to Egypt by the
Hyksos. Although Tutankhamun returned Egypt to the traditional religion
of Amun, Tutankhamun’s death without heir in the ninth year of his reign
in about 1318BCE led to a crisis. Tutankhamun’s widowed queen
arranged for Prince Zannanaz, son of the Asiatic Hittite king
Suppiluliuma I, to be her husband and become the next Pharaoh. 366
The Egyptians respected Hittite king Suppiluliuma I for defeating
the Mitanni, sacking their capital and creating a buffer state against the
Assyrians. After suppressing the Mitanni, Suppiluliuma I installed
Tushratta as a pro-Egyptian king to provide a Hittite buffer between
Egypt and Assyria. Following Tushratta’s murder the Great King of
Assyria, Assuruballit I, placed an Assyrian king called Artatama on the
throne. Suppiluliuma I then retaliated and set Tushratta's son on the
Mitanni throne. This created a Hittite buffer state against Assyria, which
lasted until Suppiluliuma’s death. Assuruballit I then annexed what was
left of the Mitanni kingdom.
