 | | When Amenhotep III, one of the greatest of the kings of Egypt, died in 1375 B.C., he left as heir to the throne his son Amenhotep IV, after wards re-named Akhnaton, a boy with views of his own on the subject of religion. |
 | | This youth, within a few years of his accession, had suppressed the national worship of Amen, and substituted that of the Sun's Disk or Aton, at the same time moving his capital from Thebes, the modern Luxor, to Tell el-Amarna, some 350 miles farther down the Nile. |
 | | There, after a reign of about 17 years, he died, leaving apparently no son, but a number of daughters. |
