a sun between two mountains

a man that ruled egypt in the 18th dynasty is said to be the first person to endorse monotheism, or the belief in one god. His name was akhenaton. something ineresting that is said to have happened to him closely relates to Bob Marley's album Uprising.

It was said that one day Akhenaten had a vision wherein he saw a sun disc between two mountains. He felt that God was guiding him to make change. He was shown the God, Aten, as the Sun Disk - the Light. He felt guided by Aten to build a city between the two mountains.

if you look up at the top of the album art work there is a sun clearly shown rising between two mounains. This to me seems like symbolism that bob marley was "guided by god to make change"

interesting point... maybe it was by coincidence... since Rasta believe that they are the people of Israel having been slaved by the Pharao of Egypt, I don't know if there's a relation to it... but the point with monotheism could make it possible anyway...

I had a vision once of a staircase in front of me that did not exist then God told me if I wanted to make lots of money I needed to start my own religion just like L Ron Hubbard. Then I realized it was not God talking to me it was just the shrooms I had eaten about an hour earlier. That may have been where Akhenaten's vision came from too.

Thats crazy werid. I was just at the Franklin Insitute in Philly yesterday and they had that statue (from the link) there with the king tut exhibit.... Anyway I dont think that bob and this king had anything in common but still a little werid...
