Question
Give instances to prove that Akhenaten, Tut’s father or grandfather, went “a little wacky”.
Solution
Akhenaten ascended the throne as Amenhotep IV but then changed his name that meant “servant of the Aten”. He moved the religious capital from the old city of Thebes to Amarna. He further shocked the country by attacking Amun, a major god worshipped in Egypt. He smashed his images and closed his temples.
