Best Answer

The ancient Egyptian term for the disk of the sun was Aten, but this term initially could be applied to any disk, including even the surface of a mirror or the moon ; the term could also mean "throne" or "place" of the sun god. The word Aten was written using the hieroglyphic sign for "god" because the Egyptians tended to personify certain expressions. Eventually, the Aten was conceived as a direct manifestation of the sun god - most likely - Re-Horakhty.

What kind of powers did Aten the Egyptian god have?

Aten/Aton was the disc of the sun in ancient Egyptian mythology, and originally an aspect of Ra - whom the pharaoh Akhenaten proclaimed was the only god [in this way, all gods in the Egyptian pantheon were "aspects" of the one true god Ra]. Akhenaten, this pharaoh's adopted name, meant "living spirit of Aten". Monotheistic "Atenism" was established by Akhenaten as the state religion until it was again replaced by traditional polytheistic Egyptian mythology after Akhenaten's death.
