Akhenaton
Akhenaton
Akhenaton (or Akhenaten) was the tenth pharaoh of Egypt's eighteenth dynasty (c.1352-1336 BCE). Son of Amenhotep III and the chief queen, Tiya, Akhenaton succeeded to the throne as Amenhotep IV and took a throne name meaning "the sun's ultimate perfection, unique one of the sun." He created a new capital at Amarna.

He is often referred to as the "heretic pharaoh," due to his abandonment of all of the traditional Egyptian gods except for Aten, the god associated with the disc of the sun who had been growing in importance and popularity for at least a couple of generations prior to the reign of Akhenaten.

It was in honour of this god that the pharaoh changed his name. (1352-1336 BCE)
