Akhenaten (or rarely : Ikhnaton) meaning Effective spirit of
Aten, first known as Amenhotep IV (sometimes read as Amenophis IV and meaning
Amun is Satisfied) before his first year, was a
Pharaoh of the
Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt, especially notable for attempting to compel the Egyptian population to monotheistically worship the
Aten. Although there are doubts as to how successful he was at this, it was the first known attempt at
monotheism the world had seen. He was born to
Amenhotep III and his Chief Queen
Tiye and was their younger son. Akhenaten was not originally designated as the successor to the throne until the untimely death of his older brother,
Thutmose.
