One result of the pharaoh’s attention to temple complexes was the growth of power of the Egyptian priesthood. Increasingly the temple priests of Egypt became wealthier and more powerful, especially in local affairs. By 1350, the priests of Amun-Ra owned nearly a quarter of the land in Egypt. Their power began to threaten the power of the pharaoh, himself. They also threatened the prestige and power of the relatively new military aristocracy that clung to the pharaoh for their influence. Perhaps as a result of this new danger, Amenhotep IV (r. 1352-1338) announced that henceforth Egypt would worship only one god, a new deity names Aten (the disk of the sun). In 1348, the young pharaoh changed his name to Akhenaten (beloved of the sun), and moved the capital from Thebes to a new capital he constructed called Akhetaten (horizon of the sun – Arabic name Tell el Amarna). The new religion was a royal religion, its rites conducted by the Pharaoh and his family. It was supported by the military aristocracy and the Pharaoh’s court, but was not very well received by other Egyptians. The very conservative Egyptians had no desire to change their religion. In around 1336, Akhenaton died and his son Tutankhaten came to the throne. Shortly thereafter, the young pharaoh’s name was changed to Tutankhamen, and the court returned to Thebes. Amarna was abandoned to the desert, as was Egypt’s brief experimentation with monotheism.
