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.

During his reign, Akhenaten introduced monotheism, the belief in which Egyptians were only allowed to worship one god, Aten. As a result, many Egyptians were forced to celebrate their gods in secret.
