It might be that it's kind of the point is that it's hard to define Egypt as monotheistic or polytheistic.

The reign of Amenhotep III's son, between 1353 and 1336 BCE, is the most famous in all of Egyptian history because it was so at odds with what came before and after.
Dave FarinaHOST
6:01
This king, who was also called Amenhotep, changed his name to Akhenaten in the fifth year of his reign as part of a radical change in religious and cultural life.
Dave FarinaHOST
6:11
Instead of Amun, the court was now dedicated to the worship of the Aten, the Disc of the Sun, which had been gaining importance in recent years, but was now made the sole god of the country, while the cult of Amun was demoted and then actively suppressed, while his temples and images were defaced.
Dave FarinaHOST
6:28
The king was closely associated with Aten, while his wife Nefertiti received a great deal of attention as a figure independent of her husband.

We have specific information about its diplomatic and administrative activities from a group of about 400 cuneiform letters written on clay tablets that were part of the court's correspondence with its governors in Canaan and with the Mesopotamian states, Mitanni, and the Hittite Empire.
Mark GagnonHOST
14:07
So King Tut, the guy that we're talking about, was a real kid.
Mark GagnonHOST
14:11
He took the throne at around nine years old and in a moment of complete chaos because his predecessor, very likely his father, the pharaoh Akhenaten, had basically tried to abolish Egypt's traditional gods and replace them with one god, the sun disk.
Mark GagnonHOST
14:25
Which honestly is a whole other episode.
Mark GagnonHOST
14:27
It is a fascinating episode where he fused himself as the pharaoh with the priestly class trying to represent kingship and godship.

Mark GagnonHOST

Well, he also died.
Mark GagnonHOST
38:49
But in London, on March 2nd, 1939, of lymphoma at the age of 64, more than 16 years after he made the discovery.
Mark GagnonHOST
38:58
Like, yeah, maybe the curse gave him lymphoma and he died 16 years later, but 16 years at the age of 64 is not bad for a British explorer back in the 1930s, you know? Lady Evelyn, for example, right? She literally climbed into the tomb with her father that first night.
Mark GagnonHOST
39:15
She lived until 1980 and she didn't die until like her late 70s.

Jimmy ChurchHOST
92:50
Akhenaten.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
92:53
Akhenaten, Akhenaten.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
92:56
And so when we get to things like Hatshepsut and that lineage and the families and what was going on in Egypt at that time, King Tut comes into play, Nefertiti, right? But what ended up happening for me when, if there was a question of alien intervention, It would be Akhenaten.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
93:24
Not only the shape of his head and her head and the kids and what was depicted in the art and all of that and the statues in the museum.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
93:33
When you go there and you see the statues of Akhenaten, you can clearly tell that something strange was going on.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
93:41
But it was his new religion where he upended all of Egypt, right? Okay, no more gods, only one god, the Aten.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
93:52
And – worshiping a disc with power coming off of it, right? And the way that this worship and the Aten came into play, and then we have the before and after that happened with Akhenaten.
Josh JohnsonHOST
15:48
So when Supaluliuma opens this tablet, has this tablet read to him, he's thinking, what is going on? Now, what's interesting about this is historians think it's probably King Tutankhamun's widowed wife, his sister wife.
Josh JohnsonHOST
16:05
It's a very weird sort of a situation, but Tutankhamun was the son of King Akhenaten, Akhenaten had a son, Tutankhamen, with his sister.
Josh JohnsonHOST
16:19
So, you know, awesome stuff there.
Josh JohnsonHOST
16:21
Historians think that Tutankhamen was very sickly.
