Akhenaten is famous for his religious reforms, including the establishment of Atenism, a monotheistic religion centered on the worship of the sun god Aten. He also moved the capital of Egypt from Thebes to Amarna, a newly founded city built specifically to serve as the center of the Aten cult.
Akhenaten and Nefertiti were a powerful couple who reigned together for many years. They are known for their affectionate and close relationship, as depicted in numerous sculptures and reliefs.
