Who tried to make ancient Egyptians believe in a new religion what was the result?
After the reign of the gentle and dependable Amenhoptep III, Amenhotep IV - his son - came into power. Amenhotep IV claimed that the god Aten - a secondary sun god in the Egyptian religion - had spoken to him, and that Aten had proclaimed himself the only god. Amenhotep IV supported this wholeheartedly. He changed his name to Akhenaten, which means "Servant of Aten," as well as forcing all the priests and common people to give up worshiping all the other gods and to devote themselves entirely to Aten. He also moved the capitol from Thebes to a new city he ordered built called Akhetaten - today called Amarna. Grudgingly, the Egyptians went along with all this - what choice did they have? He was the Pharaoh, he was part god himself. However, common people often worshiped their old gods in the privacy of their homes.Akhenaten revolutionized Egyptian religion. He invented the first monotheistic religion. However, he deprived his empire and caused stress amongst his people, and after he died, his young son came into power and the high priests rushed to erase all the changes he made.
