Amenhotep IV, later known as Akhenaten, instituted a radical change in Egyptian religion by promoting the worship of a single deity, Aten, the sun disc, and diminishing the traditional polytheistic worship of multiple gods. He established a monotheistic belief system, which included the construction of a new capital, Akhetaten (modern-day Amarna), dedicated to Aten. This shift not only altered religious practices but also challenged the power of the established priesthood, particularly that of Amun. Akhenaten's reforms were largely reversed after his death, leading to a restoration of the traditional pantheon.
Amenhotep changed his name when he excepted the belief in one supreme being. The name Amenhotep derives from the Egyptian god amon.
