Aten

Aten also Aton, Atonu, or Itn (Ancient Egyptian: jtn, reconstructed [ˈjaːtin]) was the focus of Atenism, the religious system formally established in ancient Egypt by the late Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh Amenhotep IV, better known as Akhenaten. Exact dating for the 18th dynasty is contested, though a general date range places the dynasty in the years 1550 to 1292 B.C.E.[1] The worship of Aten and the coinciding rule of Akhenaten are major identifying characteristic of a period within the 18th dynasty referred to as the Amarna Period ( c. 1353-1336 B.C.E.).
