FAQ About Pharaoh Akhenaten
What was Akhenaten's religious reform?
Akhenaten introduced a monotheistic worship of Aten, the sun disk, effectively diminishing the role of other traditional Egyptian gods. This shift is often referred to as the Atenist Revolution. Akhenaten established Aten as the central deity, with himself as the intermediary between Aten and the people, and relocated the capital to Akhetaten (modern-day Amarna).
