-I need a shepherd to look after my hares for a month. There’s one thousand of them. If not a single one runs away you’ll get ten villages and my daughter’s hand. If you fail, you’ll work for me till you die and there will be no pay.
The young man agreed.

I strongly disagree with Savitri Devi on the topic of Atenism. She wrote a whole book praising Akhenaten’s heresy which was cursed and condemned by Egyptians after his reign was over. His son, famous king Tutankhamen even changed his name (Tutankhaten) to distance from the father’s insanity.
This and her reverence of India are two biggest issues I have with the woman.
The lord decided to trick the young man. He dressed his daughter up as a simple village girl and gave her a basket. He told her to go ask the shepherd for a hare.

The young man took out his last coins.
-Here, grandpa, take these and don’t lose them.
-But how can I thank you, good fellow? At least take my walking stick. Maybe it will help you out.
The young man continued his journey and left the barren. He soon came upon a sad old man sitting under the tree and crying.
-What happened grandpa?
-Give me a drink, good fellow. I’m dying of thirst.-the old man said while approaching.
-Drink, grandpa.-said the young man and gave his jar of milk.
The old man drank it all.
The young man left the forest and continued on his path.
Eventually he found himself walking a barren land. The air was hot, dry and heavy. There was no single human or building in sight.
Even after hours of walking there seemed to be no end to the terrible barren.
"Old age is no fun"-the young man thought-"I should help him out. Berries are enough for me". He reached in the bag and gave his bread to the old man.
-Here, grandpa. Have a good one.
The old man was very happy and took out a flute.
When going through the forest he was gathering and eating some berries to save the bread for later when there will be nothing else to eat.

Ancient Egypt considered pharo Akhenaten to be one of the worst men in history and his rule was a tragedy. The greatest punishment one could receive in Egyptian tradition was the damnatio memoriae. Some artworks of Akhenaten’s period did survive (e.g. famous bust of his wife and co-ruler Nefertiti), but the majority of them were destroyed.

Tongues are separate in speech,
and their characters / as well;
their skins are different;
for you have differentiated the foreigners
All distant lands
you have made them live
The lands of Khor (Syria) and Kush (Nubia)
And the land of Egypt
You have set every man in his place
Akhenaten presents his deity as not the only God of Egypt, but the entire world, creator of all mankind. This contrasts sharply with the old religious views which saw Egyptian Gods as something purely Egyptian. In fact only Egypt was seen as a sacred land of Gods, even though they knew of many foreign ones.
