Androgynous Pharaoh or Moshiach?

Dr. Irwin Braverman, a Yale University physician thinks he knows why Akhenaten had a girlie figure. Whatever…Yahoo! News: The Androgynous Pharaoh? Akhenaten had feminine physique . DR. Braverman, the almighty Akhenaten perhaps wanted to be depicted as a woman?

Why do we care about Akhenaten? He is the Pharaoh that started a sweeping revolution in Egypt by banning all Gods except the Sun God, effectively establishing the firs state monotheism. This fact lead Freud to conclude in his book about Moses that Moses was an Egyptian priest in the court of Akhenaten. When the next Pharaoh reversed to traditional idol worshiping, Moses said adios and took off with the Hebrews, according to Dr. Freud.

Egyptian Egyptologist Ahmed Osman brought Freud’s logic a step further and declared that Moses and Akhenaten are One And The Same Person.

I think the amusing part of this equation is Akhenaten’s beautiful wife Nefertiti, would be the dark skinned Tzipporah. Now it finally makes sense! Beside as the first (and last) Moshiach for sure Akhenaten wanted to be depicted as woman.
