Akhenaten (unknown – 1336/1334 BCE), also known as Amenhotep IV, was a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt during the Amarna Period. He was married to Nefertiti and was the father of Meritaten and Tutankhamun.
Akhenaten was infamous for introducing monotheism to Egypt during his reign, mandating the worship of only Aten. As a result, many Egyptians were forced to celebrate their gods in secret.
