Akhnaten is a masterpiece... Why ? Because Glass whose music root is also born from the music of his older friend Moondog, the street musician who learned music from the Arapaho tribe, Glass succeeded in recreating the tremendous power of the Ancient Egypt religiousness.. in his life , whose i read written by Philostratus, Apollonyos of Tyana , a seer known in all the world in the time of Christ, travelled in India and all around the known world, but he said according to Philostratus that no one is as religious as the Egyptians... Glass summoned as a magician something over time coming from the life of Akhnaten and his music ressuscitated the powerful faith of the Egyptian... i learned how think the Egyptian reading 50 years ago Schwaller de Lubicz in his huge book analysing the Louxor temple ( Lubicz predicted the Sphinx age on the spot seeing water erosion way before geologist Robert Schoch) ... Glass music contain something of this vision... it is miraculous not just a mere opera...
What is extraordinary also is the life of Omm Sety (Dorothy Eady) a reincarnated priestress of Abydos temple of Sety and lover of the pharaoh for which she was killed, Omm Sety hate Akhnaten and his story is better than all thrillers i ever read...And his Story ring true, Dorothy Eady was an egyptologist of the highest order self trained ... read the search for Omm Sety by Jonathan Cott ...i read it in one day few hours ...Stunning and true story... If you want to know why Omm Sety hated Akhnaten you must read the book of Cott... This book is the greatest love story by the way i ever read...
