How did ancient Egypt change under amennotep IV?

Amenhotep IV, later known as Akhenaten, significantly transformed ancient Egypt by introducing a form of monotheism centered around the worship of the sun disk, Aten. He moved the capital from Thebes to Akhetaten (modern-day Amarna) and promoted artistic and cultural changes that emphasized naturalism and intimacy in art. His religious reforms disrupted the traditional polytheistic practices and priesthoods, leading to significant societal upheaval. After his reign, many of his changes were reversed, and traditional beliefs were restored.
