disappointingly, modern Egyptologists have mischaracterized Egyptian society, even Breasted is guilty of this, perhaps out of deference to modern tastes and religious pressure:

>“Until Ikhnaton the history of the world had been the irresistible drift of tradition. All men had been but drops of water in the great current. Ikhnaton was the first individual in history.”

the issue here is that Breasted seems unaware of the great respect for individual in Egyptian society that persisted throughout the historical record; Akhenaten was not the first individual and certainly not the first religious reformer...
