Akhenaten (A Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt) abandoned traditional Egyptian polytheism and promoted worship centered on the Aten (god of the sun), which is sometimes described as monotheistic or henotheistic (a god in a position of superiority in a pantheon of gods). This change did not survive his death around 1335 BCE.
