Akhenaton and his wife Nefertiti praying to Aton. Akhenaton was the pharaoh who instigated one of the world's first monotheistic religions (the worship of one God). This was with the worship of the sun-god, Aton, who is shown in this scene providing his rays over the king and the queen. The sun rays end up with hands holding the key of life offering it to the royal family.
