it means pooper.
Yes, that Akhenaten did. He changed Egypt's Polytheistic society into one that was of Monothesiam. He took thougt that only one god needed to be worshiped and that all the others no longer mattered. He was hateed and despised by many. He was the father of king tut and was infamous for going to monotheisum (worship of one god). To the society of Egypt's relief Tut took the throne at the age of twelve and he let the people worship several gods agian. He also made everyone kill themselves if they didn't worship him. The god was Aten. King tut and his sucessors helped bring the kingdom back to polytheism over time.
Not a what a who - he was a King of Egipt before Moses and he turned the religon into monotheism he made the people only worship Aton. The people hated him for this and they were happy when he no longer ruled.

Pharoh Amenhotep IV
Aton
Aton/Aten was at one time regarded as the only god by the pharaoh Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten). No goddess is mentioned as his consort.
Ahmenhotep IV tried to change the religion of Egypt. He thought his priests were planning to overthrow him and take all the power. In an antemp to keep his power he changed the religion to a religion where the people were suppose to believe in only one god Aton. Ahmenhotep then changed his name to Akmenaton meaning "Spirit of Aton".
Akhenaton or Akhenaten. He believed in Aton or Aten (the two names can be spelled two different ways each)
Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaton and changed the official religion of Egypt to a monotheistic cult centered around the Aton, represented by the sun disk.
By replacing Amon-Re with Aton, a minor god, the pharaohs lost their authority and prestigious power in the government. As an example, Akhenaton who renamed his name to a word meaning "he who serves Aton" Akhenaton's radical ideas had little success. Priests of Amon-Re and of other gods resisted such revolutionary changes. The people too were afraid to abandon their old gods in favor of Aton. Nobles also deserted the Pharaoh because he neglected his duty of defending the empire.
Amenhotep IV or Akhenaten.
yes, because he is the only Egyptian pharaoh who wishes for a change in his country, and that's for having only one god, who is aton, but he failed to do that.
