Is Aten common god?

Aten was not a common god in ancient Egyptian religion but rather a unique representation of the sun disk. He became prominent during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten in the 14th century BCE, when Akhenaten established a monotheistic worship centered on Aten, departing from traditional polytheistic practices. After Akhenaten's reign, the worship of Aten declined, and the traditional pantheon of Egyptian gods was restored. Thus, while Aten was significant during a specific period, he was not widely worshipped outside of that context.


What kind of powers did Aten the Egyptian god have?

Aten/Aton was the disc of the sun in ancient Egyptian mythology, and originally an aspect of Ra - whom the pharaoh Akhenaten proclaimed was the only god [in this way, all gods in the Egyptian pantheon were "aspects" of the one true god Ra]. Akhenaten, this pharaoh's adopted name, meant "living spirit of Aten". Monotheistic "Atenism" was established by Akhenaten as the state religion until it was again replaced by traditional polytheistic Egyptian mythology after Akhenaten's death.
