Around 1350 BC, Pharaoh Amenhotep IV decided that all the gods of Ancient Egypt were a lie, except for one: the sun God Aten. He build a new capital for him in the desert 200 miles south of Cairo, and changed his name to Pharaoh Akhenaten (“Of great use to Aten”).

I still don't know what to make of him. He founded the first known monotheistic religion.
Was he:
A tyrant that was so cruel that they wanted to purge him from their history ?
A model for later Judaism and/or Christianity and/or Islam and some canaanite sect wanted to obscure his influence on the religion they were about to subvert ?
Something entirely different ?
Was he really erased from history in 1300 B.C., 600 B.C., 1 A.D., 1000 A.D. or 1800 A.D. ?
