How did replacing amon-re with aton affect the authority of the pharaohs?

By replacing Amon-Re with Aton, a minor god, the pharaohs lost their authority and prestigious power in the government. As an example, Akhenaton who renamed his name to a word meaning "he who serves Aton" Akhenaton's radical ideas had little success. Priests of Amon-Re and of other gods resisted such revolutionary changes. The people too were afraid to abandon their old gods in favor of Aton. Nobles also deserted the Pharaoh because he neglected his duty of defending the empire.


What and was the god Aton and role?

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.
