Answer: Akhenaten
Akhenaten, previously known as Amenhotep IV was a pharaoh from the 18th dynasty that ruled Egypt for 17 years. He is famous for trying to move from the polytheistic traditional religion of Egypt to a monotheistic one, centered on the Aten, a solar deity.
He is also famous as husband of Queen Nefertiti and father of King Tutankhamun. His attempt at cultural change was not well-received in Egypt, and after his death, his monuments were destroyed and his name deleted from the record of kings.
