The sun deity in ancient Egyptian mythology, particularly emphasized as the supreme god during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten in the 14th century BCE.
From Egyptian 'Jtn' or 'Aten,' the ancient Egyptian name for the solar disk and sun god. The spelling varies depending on transliteration from hieroglyphics to modern English.
Akhenaten basically tried to invent monotheism 3,400 years ago by making the sun god Aten the only god—it was so radical that his successors tried to erase him from history.
