What did Horemheb do with the Amarna Period rubble?
"Built a fortress"
"Threw it into the Nile"
"Used in his building projects"
"Made a public display"
Answer
The Amarna Period rubble, remnants of the reign of Akhenaten, found new purpose under Horemheb's rule. Rather than discarding the debris, Horemheb ingeniously repurposed it as valuable construction material for his own building projects. This practical approach not only facilitated his architectural endeavors but also symbolized the restoration of traditional beliefs and the departure from the controversial Amarna Period.
