During his reign, Akenaten made a very controversial change
in religion. He abolished the practice
of worshiping numerous deities and introduced the worship of one God called
Aten. He also moved the capital to Amara.
When he died his practice of one god disappeared and the old religious practices
were restored. Tutankhamun also
introduced the practice of worshipping one god Aton. This however angered the priests that led to
abandon his belief in one god.
