HALLO RECASTER i'm so happy with history, mistery, mitologi, knowledge and many more And now that I have the historical story of Pharaoh, why I'm talking about this, because there are so many very interesting events to discuss, one of which is Pharaoh Akhenaten, formerly known as Amenhotep IV, ruled Egypt in the 14th century BCE and is known for his radical religious reforms. Early in his reign, he changed his name to Akhenaten, meaning “Effective of the Aten,” as a symbol of his devotion to the sun god Aten. Akhenaten abandoned the worship of traditional Egyptian gods, such as Amun, and replaced them with Atenism, the sole worship of Aten, which some historians believe was an early form of monotheism. This move created tensions with the priests of Amun and ushered in major changes in Egyptian religious life. Continue on coment😅

As part of his reforms, Akhenaten moved the capital of Egypt to a new location called Akhetaten (Amarna), which was specifically designed to be the center of Aten worship. There, he built open-air temples that allowed direct sunlight to enter the place of worship, reflecting the monotheistic concept of Aten as the source of life. Akhenaten also encouraged changes in art, resulting in the more natural and expressive style of Amarna art, in which the royal family is depicted in more intimate and loving positions, in contrast to the previously dominant formal style.
