Ikhnaton

Akhenaten was pharaoh of Egypt and one of the most remarkable people in history, one of the four great prophets of Egypt 92:5.11 95:3.5 95:5.1-2

Akhenaten was one of the most remarkable people in history, and no one before him had such a clear conception of the religion of Salem 95:5.2

He established monotheism under the guise of the sun god Aten 95:5.6

He swung the entire nation from polytheism to monotheism 95:5.4

He discredited the priests, who were opposed to his monotheistic reforms 95:5.5

But he was too quick; failed to provide stability and prosperity for his subjects, who quickly returned to their old gods (95:5.4,12)
