The Amarna of Solar Disk
All hidden life in traditional solar cosmology the use of Amarna in relation to the radiant Aten and Osiris is also attributed to Ra. The cult of Osiris in the solar path has merged with the Amarna form of the worship of the sun god as the life-giving solar disk at the center of the pharaohs. Amarna or Osiriakus is a deliberately created symbol to distinguish it from the traditional tomb image of Osiris the nighttime image of the Hager festival of Abydos. Furthermore the image of Osiris born from the sun as Ra and reborn on the eighth day of the month of Hager signifies the stability of the terrestrial universe.

The natural creation of life and the sustaining of the universe led to a shift towards the solar doctrine of Amarna the sun god aligning with Osiris in line with Aten as the holder and determiner of the terrestrial universe. Akhenaten is associated with the transformations of the pharaohs and is the sole mediator of the world. Amarna or Osiriakus was originally named Akhenaten. Amarna was an ancient Egyptian city built by Pharaoh Akhenaten of the 18th Dynasty. Cultural and artistic changes during this period focused on the worship of the single god Aten.
This bas-relief depicts Pharaoh Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti worshipping Aten the sun god. The symbol of the sun Aten radiates rays and culminates in a hand extending the Ankh symbol a symbol of life to the royal family. This artwork originates from the Amarna Period of the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt.
The establishment of a monotheistic religion and the creation of a new capital city marked a significant turning point. The relationship between theism and Amarna during this time was characterized by theologians who were able to distance themselves from traditional doctrines. The rituals of the gods Shu and Tefnut the creator god Atum and the worship of Osiris in the solar path were integrated into Amarna's form of worshipping the sun god as the life-giving solar disk. At the center of the pharaoh's system Aten's solar theology became the sole and supreme element in the creation of the universe.
