Amenhotep IV attempt to make egyptians monotheistic was defeated by?
Amenhotep IV, better known as Akhenaten, was not really 'defeated' in his attempt to make Egypt a monotheistic country, in the sense that the people violently opposed his religion and rebelled against it. Akhenaten's religion was 'defeated' in the sense that after his death his religion was not sustained. After his death, in the post Amarna period, his successors reverted the country back to it's polytheistic/pantheistic religion, as many of the people believed that during the Amarna period when only one God (the Aten) was worshiped, the other gods 'left' Egypt due to the lack of worship and the neglect of their temples. In an attempt to appease the gods and to entice them to dwell in their temples again and therefore bless the country, the religion was reverted back to what it was before Akhenaten. Furthermore, religion in the Amarna period was centred on the king and his personal relationship with the Aten. The common people could not have their own personal relationship with god. Therefore, after his death, the change in religion reflects the peoples desire to have their own personal relationship with their deities.
What was the first culture to practice monotheism?
Urmonotheismus (German for "primeval monotheism") or primitive monotheism is the hypothesis of a monotheistic Urreligion, from which non-monotheistic religions degenerated and is supported by a number of scholars. Judeo-Christian scripture supports this view. Evolutionary biologists argue for Judeo-Christian scriptures as mythology so dismiss them out-of-hand. They argue preanimism, then animism, totemism, polytheism and finally monotheism developed based on the archeolological evidence; however, the physical evidence does not "prove" that the first modern humans were not monotheists... it's just their best guess after dismissing ancient manuscripts that assert it as myth.

What monotheistic religions was Muhammad familiar with before creating Islam?
I'm no scholar, so I can't say whether or not Prophet Muhammad knew a lot about the monotheistic faiths of his time, or was "familiar" with them.
