Akhenaten, Amonhotep IV Egyptian Pharaoh

 

Illustration of a bust of Akhenaten, Amonhotep IV in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. He ruled Egypt for 17 years and is famous for trying to move Egypt from polytheism and introducing worship centred on Aten. This didnt go down well with the Egyptian people who promptly destroyed all statues of him after his death. He was also the husband of Nefertiti.
