FAQ About Pharaoh Akhenaten

How did succeeding pharaohs deal with Akhenaten's changes?
Succeeding pharaohs quickly worked to undo Akhenaten's religious changes. They restored the worship of traditional gods, like Amun, and attempted to erase Akhenaten's legacy by removing his name from monuments and restoring old temples. Tutankhamun's reign, in particular, marked this return to tradition.
