Pillar of Fire (novel)
''Pillar of Fire'' is a 1995 historical fantasy novel by Judith Tarr. It deals with the reigns of Egyptian pharaohs Akhenaten and Tutankhamun and the Exodus from the perspective of a Hittite slave girl of Ankhesenpaaten. It draws heavily on Ahmed Osman's theory that Moses and Ankhenaten were the same person.
The idea of Akhenaten as the pioneer of a monotheistic religion that later became Judaism has been considered by various scholars starting with Sigmund Freud's views in ''Moses and Monotheism''.〔Freud, S. (1939). Moses and Monotheism: Three Essays.〕〔Gunther Siegmund Stent, ''Paradoxes of Free Will''. American Philosophical Society, DIANE, 2002. 284 pages. Pages 34 - 38.

The audiobook version, published in 1998, ran for approximately 22 hours and was read by Anna Fields.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate= 2009-04-12 )〕
