1351–1334 B.C.

Akhenaten (also spelled Ikhnaton; meaning “the living spirit of Aten”), known before the fifth year of his reign as Amenhotep IV, was a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt who ruled for 17 years and probably died around 1336 B.C. or 1334 B.C.

He is best known for abandoning Egypt’s traditional polytheism and introducing a new form of worship centered on Aten, which is sometimes described as monotheistic or henotheistic.

Early depictions represent Aten as the sun (in contrast to the stars), and later the official language avoided calling Aten a god, granting him a solar divinity status higher than that of a mere deity.
