Akhenaten was known as Egypt’s Rebel Pharaoh. He lived during the 14th century BCE in a huge desert city he built from scratch named “Horizon of the Aten sun god” (today called Amarna). His mummy has never been found, and he disappeared from history at age 37. During his reign, he was obsessed with sunrises and worshipping the sun. He shut down the temples of all other gods, and destroyed their idols. He was called the “rebel” and the “heretic” in later Egyptian texts, and his reign was referred to as the “rebellion”.
