25 май 1370 г. до нашей эры - Amenhotep, IV, Tiye's son

Описание:

Akhenaten was Queen Tiye's son and his name means, "Effective for the Aten"

Akhenaten became pharaoh reigning c. 1353–1336[3] or 1351–1334 BC and was the tenth ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty.

Before the fifth year of his reign, he was known as Amenhotep IV, "Amun is satisfied"

As a pharaoh, Akhenaten is noted for abandoning Egypt's traditional polytheism and introducing Atenism, or worship centered around Aten.

The views of Egyptologists differ as to whether the religious policy was absolutely monotheistic, or whether it was monolatry, syncretistic, or henotheistic.

This culture shift away from traditional religion was reversed after his death. Traditional religious practice was gradually restored, notably under his close successor Tutankhamun, who changed his name from Tutankhaten early in his reign.

When some dozen years later, rulers without clear rights of succession from the Eighteenth Dynasty founded a new dynasty, they discredited Akhenaten and his immediate successors and referred to Akhenaten as "the enemy" or "that criminal" in archival records.
Akhenaten's monuments were dismantled and hidden, his statues were destroyed, and his name excluded from lists of rulers compiled by later pharaohs.

Akhenaten was all but lost to history until the late-19th-century discovery of Amarna, or Akhetaten, the new capital city he built for the worship of Aten.
