 Atenism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 14th century BC it was Egypt's state religion for around 20 years, before a return to the traditional gods so comprehensive that the heretic Pharaohs associated with Atenism were erased from Egyptian records.
Tutankhaten, who succeeded him at age 8 (with Akhenaten's old vizier, Ay, as regent) changed his name to Tutankhamun in year 3 of his reign (1348 BC or 1331 BC) and abandoned Akhetaten, the city falling into ruin.

The author shows that the second jubilee of King Amenhotep III (1386-1348 BC) was celebrated for the total solar eclipse of 08/15/-1351, and coincided with the first jubilee of King Akhenaten (1356-1338 BC).
Consequently, as I have shown that the reign of King Amenhotep III occupied the period (1386-1348 BC), this implies that Year 30 of King Amenhotep III was 1356 BC, and the celebration of his second jubilee in Year 34, took place in 1352 BC, the year of the historic eclipse.
Also, the author has demonstrated that the advent of Dynasty IV was in 2625 BC, with an error of a few years due to the uncertainties of the lengths of some of the reigns of the pharaohs of the Old Kingdom.

 History guide for Egypt by Hostelbookers
By changing his name from Amenophis IV to Akhenaten and founding a new capital at Tell el-Amarna, the young king underlined his commitment to a new monotheistic religion that challenged the existing priesthood and bureaucracy.
The boy king Tutankhamun (1361–1352 BC) was easily persuaded to abjure Aten's cult and return the capital to Thebes, heralding a Theban counter-revolution that continued under Ay and Horemheb.
Though Horemheb (c.1348–1320 BC) effectively restored the status quo ante, his lack of royal blood and, more importantly, an heir, brought the XVIII Dynasty to a close.

 Meridian Magazine :: Akhenaten: An Early Egyptian Monotheist
At first glance, ancient Egypt, with its hundreds of exotic gods, would seem the last place for a monotheistic revelation.
Yet one of the earliest monotheists known to history was Akhenaten, pharaoh of Egypt from 1352-1336 BC, who perhaps lived in the generation before Moses.
Akhenaten was born of royal parents, raised and trained in the religious traditions of Egypt that focused on the worship of the high-god Amun at his great temple of Karnak in the capital city, Thebes (modern-day Luxor).

Though much Egyptian figural art is formalized and stylized, the sculpted bust of Nefertiti, dating from 1348 BC, is so remarkably realistic we can only make the relatively safe assumption that it was also a portrait likeness.
Is the image of Alexander the Great on a Greek drachma coin dating from 300 BC an actual likeness, or merely a symbolic one?
Although we have no way of knowing whether the Greeks mastered the art of portraying sculpted or painted likeness, those of their Roman predecessors are so individualistic and naturalistic as to make such judgments much more certain.
