on BBC Two England

Using dramatic reconstructions and filmed throughout Egypt, this documentary unravels the story of King Akhenaten, the country's heretic monarch, who 3,300 years ago introduced a new religion and demanded to be worshipped like a god. At his side was Queen Nefertiti, one of the greatest iconic figures of the ancient world. What brought this enigmatic couple's reign to a sudden and disastrous halt?
