It did change, but only slightly. Egyptian cultural and religious beliefs made change very difficult - almost a criminal offence. The idea of ma'at (truth, righteousness, justice, balance, order, morality and doing the right thing) was at the heart of everything in ancient Egypt - change was simply not acceptable and it would be an insult to the gods and the people.This is why the ancient Egyptian language, art, farming and architecture changed only very slightly over 3,000 years.
Akhenaten was a famous Egyptian Pharaoh. His parents were Amenhotep the third and Tiye. He ruled during the eighteenth dynasty of the Amarna period of ancient Egyptian history. One of his major roles in antiquity was his attempt to change the national religion of ancient Egypt, as this was a period in history where the king told you what to believe. Probably his most notable place in Egyptian history is being the suspected father of the famous King Tut. If you want to learn more go to the National Geographic website and search his name or King Tut.
