Best Answer

Pharaoh: Neferkheperure-waenre Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten

Wife: Nefertiti

Akhenaten completely changed the balance of power of the previous regime. He introduced a modified religion based on the sun's disc. He founded the city of Amarna and lived there to establish a revitalised political/religious outlook, removing the control of the corrupt Amun priesthood of Thebes, the previous capital. After Akhenaten's death they destroyed all evidence of the city and returned power to Thebes, installing his teenage son TutAnkhAmon as pharaoh, and restored Amun to primacy amongst the gods as patron of their regime. When the young pharaoh died/was assassinated, a priest took over as pharaoh.
