The Ankh - symbol of rebirth. The shape of Akhenaten's pit is no accident. This is the cradle of Atenism. This is where the whispers first urged the Black Pharaoh to dig. Akhenaten knew immediately that he had come to the right place. The further he forced his slaves to dig, the more certain were the signs of the Aten's presence. The black baptismal substance. The organs couched in rock. The mangled miracles. The visions. The worshippers who went down into the Ankh - some willingly and some not - all bathed in the ichorous breath of Aten. How did it affect them? The answers are within reach.
