There were many pharaohs, all of these pharaohs were different and had different ways to rule egypt, one of my favorite pharaohs is Akhenaten, Akhenaten was born around 1380 BC and died around 1336 BC. He was the son of Amenhotep the 3rd and queen Tiyi. Tiyi was not a part of the royal family, so she was married for love rather than a set up marriage. Amehotep the 3rd and Tiyi never showed Akhenaten in any family potraits, nor did he go to all of the royal events it is believed he would stay at home waiting for the others to come back home, so it is a mystery for this reason why he wasn’t really loved as much as the other kids, it is believed that there were 8 children including Akhenaten. Akhenaten had a different belief in artwork was to portray pharaohs and royal families as normal people with imperfections rather than making them all look god like and with no personal faults. Akhenatens leadership style was unpopular because of the one god he believed in and how he didn’t use the temples. Although he ruled for 17 years. Amen was known as the main god in the past years before Akhenaten, but Akhenaten thought of Aten the son god as the one god abandoning the belief of Ra, Horus and Amon the gods, he tried to make all egyptians only believe in Aten. He claimed that he was the only one who could speek to Aten. Akhenaten had a main wife named Nefertiti. She was 13 years old when she married Akhenatan. He had also 95 wives, Although during the 12th year of him rueling egypt he found a princess called Baketaten, she bacame his new favorite compared to Nefertiti. Nefertiti vanished forever and historians don’t know where she was and why she left. He also had five daughters and two sons, with Nefertiti. It is believed that his son was Tutunkaten who grew up to be Tutunkaman. He died around 1334-1336BC. After Akhenatens death him and his belief about the one god was entirely erased in egypt, and his city was abandoned. The old religions were brought back and most of the art was destroyed. His history was practically wiped and none of the other pharoahs really kept his belief.
