Atenism was one of the earliestmonotheisticreligions. It was the worship of the light emanating from the sun god (or rather sun disk),Aten. It was started by the 18 dynasty pharaoh Amenhotep IV, better known asAkhenaten. It lasted 20 years, until Akhenaten's death.Tutankhamun, Akhenaten's son, restored thetraditional Egyptian religion. Today modern day groups have attempted to revive Atenism as a worldwide religion, most notablyAkhetaten Fellowship.
