Akhenaten implemented significant religious reforms in ancient Egypt, most notably the shift from polytheism to the worship of a single deity, Aten, the sun disk. He established a new capital city, Akhetaten (modern Amarna), dedicated to this monotheistic worship and promoted the arts and a more naturalistic style in sculpture and reliefs. Additionally, Akhenaten's reign saw a decline in the power of the traditional priesthood, particularly that of Amun, as he sought to centralize religious practices around Aten. These changes marked a radical departure from the established norms of Egyptian religion and governance.

Did Pharaoh make the laws for ancient Egypt?
A pharaoh could make the laws of ancient Egypt and many times did make them. However he was under an overall restriction, so to speak, because the Egyptian outlook on life was one of continuity. A new law could not be too radical or the priests would get upset as their idea of the gods could not be changed. The Pharaoh Akhenaten tried it, but his reforms, both religious and civil lasted only as long as he did.

Amenhotep IV, also known as Akhenaten, attempted to impose monotheism by promoting the worship of the sun disk Aten over traditional polytheistic beliefs. His efforts faced resistance from the powerful priesthood of Amun and the general populace, who were deeply rooted in established religious practices. After his reign, his successors, particularly Tutankhamun, restored the old religious order, leading to the eventual decline of Akhenaten's reforms and the reaffirmation of polytheism in Egypt.
