Aton was an ancient Egyptian deity representing the sun disk, and he became prominent during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten in the 14th century BCE. Aton was worshipped as the sole god in a radical religious shift known as Atenism, which emphasized monotheism and the direct relationship between the pharaoh and the sun. This shift aimed to diminish the influence of the traditional polytheistic priesthood and the worship of other gods. The cult of Aton ultimately fell out of favor after Akhenaten's death, leading to a return to the traditional pantheon of Egyptian gods.
Khonsu was the Egyptian god who was associated with the moon. His name means "traveler" and he, along with Thoth, marked the passage of time.
Nefertiti, and her husband Pharaoh Akhenaten, had a monotheistic religion and introduced that to the Egyptian culture, replacing their polytheistic religion. A monotheistic is the belief in one god/goddesses or higher power. A polytheistic is the belief in many gods/goddesses and higher powers. Their monotheistic religion believed in only the god, Aton.
