| Abstract | |
It is known that the deep connection between gods and Ancient Egypts sovereign is considered as one of the most significant elements in pharaonic discourse legitimacys construction, notably divinized in that civilization. Based on the Amarna period (Ancient Egypt, 1353 BC - 1335 BC) this research aims to study the reticulation to this relationship proposed on that period. A reticulation that implied on kings repositioning and on a polytheistic pantheons readjustment, privileging the god Aten. This process is not exhausted in a simple mental abstraction, on the contrary, it is textualized, especially in the two hymns to the god Aten, and materialized in images of that period. Regarding these images, besides taking them as analysis primary source, we will also seek to allow its traditional treatment methodology to lead into a more comprehensive reflection, based on suggestions from the Agency Theory that aim to understand images as a constructive power, being able to modify the realities in which they are inserted on.
