Originally published in 1979, 'The Akhenaten Temple Project and Karnak Excavations' is a nice shapshot of the projects overview. "Akhenaten built the Gem-pa-Aten in the third year of his reign to celebrate his jubilee festival (the heb-sed). By year six of his reign, however, Akhenaten had moved the court and royal palace to a new city in Middle Egypt, modern Tell el-Amarna. The extent to which the Gem-pa-Aten and the other structures dedicated to the Aten at Thebes functioned during the king’s hiatus is unknown." from Digital Karnak, A nice index for the history and archeology in Karnak.

I've been haphazardly cobbling together a sense of 18th dynasty history as part of a personal project and didn’t know anything about this reconstruction effort. Very cool. I loved the use of the word “zany”. (apologies for the shameless self-promotion).
