" Aton as the symbol for the Supreme spiritual principle."
"Akhenaton -- Eighteenth Dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh who ruled from approximately 1379 to 1357 BC. Known as the “rebel pharaoh”, he is considered the founder of monotheism by many religious historians. He was originally named Amenhotep IV, but changed his name to Akhenaton (“He who serves Aton”) when he came to power. By the time of his birth Egypt had essentially lost touch with the unity (One God) teachings of their ancestors, having splintered into many cults who payed homage to numerous deities, Amon-Re being the most important. Akhenaton introduced the solar disc deity Aton as the symbol for the Supreme spiritual principle. In the course of this he moved the capital from Thebes (“city of Amon”) 300 miles north, calling it Akhetaton (now Tell el-Amarna). Akhenaton was deeply spiritual and wrote much heart-felt poetry, but his reform efforts led to a decline in Egyptian military power and political stability; after his death, his successor, the boy-king Tutankhamen, returned to Thebes, and handed power back to the Amun priestood. All traces of Akhenaton’s temples were obliterated."
