Why did king Tutankhamen move the capital to Thebes?

King Tutankhamun moved the capital from Akhetaten (modern-day Amarna) back to Thebes to restore traditional religious practices and reaffirm the worship of the god Amun, which had been diminished during the reign of his predecessor, Akhenaten. This shift was part of a broader effort to stabilize Egypt after the religious upheaval caused by Akhenaten's monotheistic reforms. By returning to Thebes, Tutankhamun aimed to unify the kingdom and strengthen the power of the priesthood, thus solidifying his own authority as pharaoh.
