AKHENATON
often also spelled Echnaton, Akhnaton, or rarely Ikhnaton.
a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt, ruled for 17 years and died in 1336 BC or 1334
BC. He is especially noted for abandoning traditional Egyptian polytheism and introducing
worship centered on the Aten, which is sometimes described as monotheistic or henotheistic. An
early inscription likens him to the sun as compared to stars, and later official language avoids
calling the Aten a god, giving the solar deity a status above mere gods.
After his death, traditional religious practice was gradually restored, and when some dozen years
later rulers without clear rights of succession from the Eighteenth Dynasty founded a new
dynasty, they discredited Akhenaten and his immediate successors, referring to Akhenaten
himself as 'the enemy' in archival records.

usually translated as "Born of the god Thoth". It may refer to several individuals from the 18th

he has the unique mask over all other rulers because tutankhamen is the first king and ruler who
is very young, at the age of 8 he became a ruler.
Tutankhamun was slight of build, and was roughly 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) tall. He had large front
incisors and the overbite characteristic of the Thutmosid royal line to which he belonged. He also
had a pronounced dolichocephalic (elongated) skull, although it was within normal bounds and
highly unlikely to have been pathological. Given the fact that many of the royal depictions of
Akhenaten often featured such an elongated head, it is likely an exaggeration of a family trait,
rather than a distinct abnormality. The research also showed that the Tutankhamun had "a
slightly cleft palate"[11] and possibly a mild case of scoliosis.
