Akhenaten is widely known as the off-kilter pharoah that up-ended centuries of religion, relocated an empire's capitol, and fathered one of the most famous mummies in history...but was he really as crazy as much of history has made him out to be or was he just too far ahead of his time?

I'd say he's a bit of both...for anyone to have such ground-breaking ideas points to great individuality and a unique way of thinking...to enact that on the level he did, without the support of a nation, borders on sociopathic...
