- 31. Akhenaten Akhenaten was a pharoh who reigned in ancient Egypt about 3,500 years ago. Although he was pharoh for a short time, he is famous for his religious revolution. He overthrew Egypt's polytheism, or "belief in or worship of more than one god" [2] and replaced it with the worship of a single god, Aten, the sun god [3]. His chief wife was named Neferetti, and they moved away from Thebes and established a new captital, which is now known as Armana. The city was dedicated to Aten. He also infuleunced the art of the time period. Akhenaten was the first pharoh to have images and paintings done of himself and his family that actually looked like them. In 1335 B.C., Neferetti disappeared and most likely died, and in 1332 B.C., Akhenaten died, and the circumstances were never explained [4].
