    Akhenaten (pronounced listen), also spelled Akhenaton or Echnaton (Ancient Egyptian: ꜣḫ-n-jtnʾŪḫə-nə-yātəy, pronounced[ˈʔuːχəʔnəˈjaːtəj],[12][13] meaning 'Effective for the Aten'), was an ancient Egyptianpharaoh reigning c.&#;– or – BC, the tenth ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty.

    Before the fifth year of his reign, he was known as Amenhotep IV (Ancient Egyptian: jmn-ḥtp, meaning "Amun is satisfied", Hellenized as Amenophis IV).

    As a pharaoh, Akhenaten is noted for abandoning traditional ancient Egyptian religion of polytheism and introducing Atenism, or worship centered around Aten.

    The views of Egyptologists differ as to whether the religious policy was absolutely monotheistic, or whether it was monolatristic, syncretistic, or henotheistic. This culture shift away from traditional religion was reversed after his death.
