Akhenaten, previously known as Amenhotep IV, was one of the most controversial Pharaohs to rule Egypt. As pharaoh, Akhenaten changed the polytheistic religion of Egypt to a monotheistic religion devoted to the Aten, which was depicted as a sun disk. The Egyptians despised this radical idea, but were forced to change their religion, art and their overall way of life. His reign began at around 1353 BC in the 18th Dynasty, following the death of his father Amenhotep III, and lasted until 1336 BC. His father’s reign was peaceful and prosperous, leaving Akhenaten with an Egypt of immense power and wealth.

Hatshepsut is renowned for being one of the most influential yet unknown Egyptian rulers of all time. Hatshepsut descended from Thutmose (I), a respected former Pharaoh and ruled Egypt for 15 years, focusing her reign on architecture and expeditions, rather than expanding Egypt (Johnson, 1978). Hatshepsut married her half-brother Thutmose (II) and after his death, overtook his reign, claiming the position of Pharaoh despite her step-son Thutmose (III) being the heir. Hatshepsut then assumed the role of co-regent, alongside her step-son and later, she procured the Double Crown (Gardiner, 1961).

Like all pharaohs, he took a wife, a woman named Nefertiti, and had multiple children, the most famous being his son, Tutankhamun. At the beginning of his reign, it appeared as if Amenhotep IV planned to continue the traditions of his father, but around Year 3, Amenhotep IV became Akhenaten and started an unprecedented revolution that shook Egypt to its core.
