How did the two unusual pharaohs change ancient Egypt?

The two unusual pharaohs, Akhenaten and Tutankhamun, significantly transformed ancient Egypt through their radical approaches to religion and governance. Akhenaten introduced monotheism with the worship of Aten, disrupting traditional polytheistic practices and altering the cultural landscape. His successor, Tutankhamun, restored the old religious order after Akhenaten's death, reinstating the worship of multiple gods and traditional rituals, which helped stabilize and unify Egypt. Together, their reigns highlighted the tensions between innovation and tradition in ancient Egyptian society.

Who changed the beliefs of egyptians back to polytheism?

The revival of polytheism in ancient Egypt is often attributed to the reign of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, who ascended the throne after the controversial monotheistic reforms of Akhenaten. Akhenaten had promoted the worship of the sun disk Aten, leading to significant religious upheaval. After his death, Tutankhamun and his advisors restored the traditional polytheistic beliefs, reinstituting the worship of the pantheon of Egyptian gods and rebuilding temples that had been neglected during Akhenaten's rule. This shift marked a return to the established religious practices of ancient Egypt.
