Egypt: Akhenaten Was The Pharaoh Of Egypt
Akhenaten was the pharaoh of Egypt who reigned over the country for about 17 years roughly between 1353 B.C. and 1335 B.C.
Akhenaten married Nefertiti, who was said to be one of the most beautiful women in all of Egyptian history.
In some artworks Nefertiti was shown standing equal next to her husband. She was thought to be the only queen who was equal to her husband, and co-ruler of Egypt.
When Akhenaten ruled Egypt he created a new god. He wiped out all of Egypt’s main Gods and their religious beliefs and instead made all the Egyptians worship the Aten.
The Aten was the sun disc, the symbol of the sun in Egyptian mythology. Akhenaten took this symbol and made it a god. He closed all temples dedicated to the previous gods and had his minions
