Answers
Amenhotep IV
Amenhotep III, was a powerful pharaoh who had ruled for almost four decades at the height of the eighteenth dynasty's golden age. His son Amenhotep IV succeeded him on the throne and initiated one of the most strangest periods in ancient Egyptian history. The new pharaoh promoted the worship of Aten,the sun disk, changing his name to Akhenaten or servant of Aten and moved the religious capital from the old city of Thebes to the new city of Akhenaten which is now known as Amarna. He further shocked the country by attacking Amun who was major god by smashing his images and closing his temples. The family that had ruled for centuries was coming to an end and then Akhenaten went berserk. So after Akhenaten's death, a mysterious ruler named Smenkhkare briefly came to power and then disappeared. Then came the very young Tutankhaten or King Tut as he is known today. The boy king changed his name to Tutankhamun or living image of Amun and brought about the restoration of the old ways. He reigned for about nine years and then died unexpectedly and inexplicably. In spite of his fame and fortune, the cause of hid death has not been ascertained.
