"You seem to be well aware of these times," the man said, "Yes, Akhenaten. Not long ago his soldiers appeared in Waset and began to hack away Amun's name from the temples. They are still at it. I was a minor priest in Ipet-Isut and we were all driven out of the temples and our homes for being Amun's servants. The higher-ranking priests have been ordered to remain in the temple, probably so that the king's men can be certain they aren't hiding the temple's treasures from them. I came here with my family, knowing the village to be empty after the workers were ordered to move to Akhetaten."
