Abstract
The article discusses archaeological excavations undertaken in the ancient city of Amarna in Egypt. Built by the 18th Dynasty pharaoh Akhenaten, the city's many murals and ancient reliefs depict it as a place of earthly delights. Research by various archaeologists, however, including Barry Kemp, Anna Stevens and Jerome Rose, has found that the city's poor communities endured hunger and malnutrition, performed backbreaking manual labor, and bore the signs of a generally grim life.
