THANK YOU Dr. Redford! The Sun is our witness!

The oldest and perhaps first doc on Akhenaten. A difficult line of study because Amarna was lost, forgotten and destroyed. Dr. Redford and his crew uncover the city and have laid the foundation for centuries of investigation and discovery. At 89 in 2023 the doctor may no be going back to Egypt but his work is his witness! This video that sketches his decades of work is online via the University of Toronto. I hope to obtains some of his books and visit Egypt. He and his wife's work are inspiring generations of followers of Akhenaten! I will post a link once I find it again, it's been a decade since I've watched it!

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
