What controversial change didAmenhotep IV Akhenaten and his wife Nefertit impose in Egypt?
Amenhotep IV, later known as Akhenaten, imposed a controversial religious change by promoting the worship of a single deity, Aten, the sun disk, effectively introducing monotheism in place of Egypt's traditional polytheistic beliefs. This shift was accompanied by significant changes in art, culture, and the capital, which he moved to Akhetaten (modern-day Amarna). His wife, Nefertiti, played a prominent role in this religious transformation, often depicted alongside him in art. The changes were met with resistance and largely reversed after Akhenaten's death.
