The nae aton means solar disk. We know him today as King Tut.
One aton is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms. The term "aton" is often a misspelling of "ton," which can refer to different measurements depending on the context. However, in the metric system, one metric ton (or tonne) is also equal to 1,000 kilograms.
Aton/Aten was at one time regarded as the only god by the pharaoh Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten). No goddess is mentioned as his consort.
Aton, also spelled Aten, was an ancient Egyptian deity associated with the sun and considered a manifestation of the sun's disk. He gained prominence during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten (1353-1336 BCE), who promoted Aton as the sole god, emphasizing a form of monotheism that diverged from traditional polytheistic practices. This religious shift included the establishment of a new capital, Akhetaten (modern-day Amarna), dedicated to Aton. After Akhenaten's death, worship of Aton declined, and traditional gods were restored.
Akhenaton describes his relationship with Aton as one of profound devotion and intimacy. He promotes Aton as the sole deity, emphasizing a personal connection that transcends traditional polytheism. In his hymns, he depicts Aton as a nurturing force that brings life and sustenance, reflecting a deep spiritual bond. This relationship signifies a significant shift in ancient Egyptian religion, focusing on a singular divine presence.
