Movement
An Ancient Egyptian religion that controversially came to prominence under the reign of Akhenaten of the New Kingdom's 18th Dynasty. Perhaps its most notable trait was a singular focus of cult worship on the Aten, represented by the image of the solar disk. As the monotheistic (or henotheistic) state religion of Egypt under Akhenaten, Atenism resulted in the suppression of the traditional Egyptian pantheon until Akhenaten's death in turn restored the traditional pantheon and led to the end of Atenism.
