	Egypt: Rulers, Kings and Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt: Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten)
		The Amarna Interlude, as it is often called, saw the removal of the seat of government to a short-lived new capital city, Akhetaten (modern el-Amarna), the introduction of a new art style, and the elevation of the cult of the sun disc, the Aten, to pre-eminent status in Egyptian religion.
		The young prince was at least the second son of Amenhotep III by his chief wife, Tiy: an elder brother, prince Tuthmosis, had died prematurely (strangely, a whip bearing his name was found in Tutankhamun's tomb).
		Amenhotep III had recognized the growing power of the priesthood of Amun and had sought to curb it; his son was to take the matter a lot further by introducing a new monotheistic cult of sun-worship that was incarnate in the sun's disc, the Aten.

	Dynasty 18 - Ahmose I, Amenhotep I

		Amenhotep I was given the rare honor of being declared a titular god upon his death by the priests.
		Amenhotep I and his mother were especially worshipped at Deir el-Medinaon the west bank at Thebes, where the craftsmen and who build and decorated the royal tombs lived.
