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.
