Abraham introduced monotheism 3800 years ago.
The answer that you are looking for is "Josiah," but it is mistaken. It is the view of secular academe, and flies in the face of tradition. Judaism had already been monotheistic for eight centuries by the time of Josiah. All he did was to eradicate the idolatrous influences of those Jews who had strayed from their own religion. This had happened repeatedly (such as with Jehoshaphat [2 Chronicles 17:6], and Samuel before him [1 Samuel 7:3-4]); and those who strayed into pagan practices never encompassed the entire people.

How does the monotheism of the Hebrews differ from that of Akenaten?
Although the monotheism of Akenaten was much earlier than the monotheism instituted under King Josiah of Judah, it was only to last the lifetime of on king. In this respect it can better be compared to the earlier attempts at monotheism under King Hezekia, also abandoned under his son Manasseh. An important ritualistic difference was that the people of Judah could always worship their God in the Temple in Jerusalem, whereas only King Akenaten could worship the god Aten. The ordinary people had to give the devotions to their king, who would worship Aten on their behalf. It also seems that monotheism did not really extend beyond the Egyptian capital.

Why is the Middle East the birthplace of monotheism?
Monotheism had to begin somewhere, and the Middle East was as good a place as any, although strictly speaking the Middle East was not really the birthplace of monotheism. The monotheistic Zoroastrian religion is believed to have arisen in southern Russia, and may have been the earliest monotheistic religion. The monotheism that Akenaten instuted in Egypt was much earlier than the monotheism instituted under King Josiah of Judah, although it was only to last the lifetime of one king. The monotheism that was to have the most profound effect on the entire world was that of the Jews, and this certainly was instituted in what is now termed the Middle East. Christianity arose in the Jewish milieu, so it was natural that that this new religion would also be monotheistic. And centuries later, Islam was born in a society that was already well acquainted with both Judaism and Christianity.
