Amenhotep IV, later known as Akhenaten, made significant contributions to ancient Egyptian religion by introducing the worship of a single deity, Aten, the sun disk. This marked a radical shift from the traditional polytheistic beliefs and practices of Egypt. He established a new capital, Akhetaten, dedicated to Aten, and promoted a form of monotheism that emphasized direct connection with the god, diminishing the roles of other gods and priests. His religious reforms were controversial and were largely reversed after his death.
