Aten
King Tutankhamun's name means "LIVING IMAGE OF ATEN".When King Tutankhamun was Prince his name was Tutankhaten. His name as a prince meant Living Image of Aten. When he became Pharaoh he changed his name to Tutankhamun, shifting focus from the god Aten, who his father, Akhenaten, worshipped, back to the god Amun.So as King, Tutankhamun's name means "Living Image of AMUN"
Aten was not a common god in ancient Egyptian religion but rather a unique representation of the sun disk. He became prominent during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten in the 14th century BCE, when Akhenaten established a monotheistic worship centered on Aten, departing from traditional polytheistic practices. After Akhenaten's reign, the worship of Aten declined, and the traditional pantheon of Egyptian gods was restored. Thus, while Aten was significant during a specific period, he was not widely worshipped outside of that context.
Aten refers to the sun disc, the physical sun, rather than the sun god
Aten was an ancient Egyptian deity often associated with the sun disk. He became particularly prominent during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten, who established Aten as the central god in a religious revolution that emphasized monotheism. Aten was closely related to Akhenaten, who considered himself the earthly representative of the god, promoting a unique form of worship that focused on the sun's life-giving power. This period marked a significant departure from traditional polytheistic practices in ancient Egypt.
Before he came to power, his father, (I forget), made Egypt worship only one god, Aten, the Sun God. After his death, Tutankhamen erased all traces of Aten where his father put them, and soon, his father's dilemma became but a memory
