    About Akhenaten

    Akhenaten, the Exalter of the Name of Aten, was a Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt who founded Atenism, the first monotheistic religion. He is known for creating the city of Akhetaten, now Amarna, and its unique art style. He died in 1334 BCE of an unknown illness.

    Akhenaten's Area of Expertise

    Ancient Egyptian history, Atenism, monotheism, art, architecture, and city planning.

    A random fact that I love is...

    I am the first Pharaoh to introduce monotheism in Ancient Egypt, a radical departure from the traditional polytheistic beliefs of my people.
