- Abstract
The paper is devoted to the issue of the religious worldview in Egypt of the era of the New Kingdom (XVI-XI centuries BC), when the doctrine of a transcendent God appears for the first time in the Theban religious thought, which is closely connected with the emergence of new ideas about man and his nature in this historical period. Many details of this new theological model already largely correspond to the cultural and spiritual criteria of the epoch of “axial time”, the onset of which is traditionally dated to a much later period, namely the X century BC.
