The Egyptians resisted Akhenaton's shift to monotheism primarily because it challenged their long-standing polytheistic beliefs and traditions that were deeply integrated into their daily lives and culture. The worship of multiple gods had been central to their understanding of the universe and the maintenance of cosmic order, or ma'at. Additionally, the drastic changes in religious practices and the neglect of traditional temples and priesthoods threatened the established social and political order, leading to widespread discontent among both the populace and the powerful priestly class.
Egyptians were polytheists and worshiped hundreds of gods, including pharaohs. The downfall of this religion began when Egypt was brought under Roman rule around 31 B.C. After this, Christianity spread rapidly through Egypt. ChaCha on!

He was under much influence from adults (who didnt like Akhenaton's choice), and was convinced to change back to the origianl religion.

Someone answered this already, but it was because he originated monotheism in Egypt and built a new city, Amarna, away from Cairo and the old ways ensconced there. He was also Tutankamun's father, who was named Tutankaton during his father's lifetime. When Akhenaton died, Tutankamun moved the capital back to Cairo and abandoned monotheism.
