| Akhenaten (the first to preach monotheism) (Nefertiti's husband) |
Did you know that Akhenaten, Nefertiti's husband was the first Egyptian king to preach monotheism? Wow! Akhenaten was one of history's first religious revolutionaries. He changed ancient Egypt's religious beliefs of polytheism to monotheism. Akhenaten even began to commission temples to the god Aton, "the sun disk". Plus he built a city called Akhenaton ("Horizon of Aton").
Although, we cannot forget about Nefertiti. While her husband was preaching monotheism, she was right up there preaching with him. Nefertiti was also a big supporter of her husband during this time and did whatever she could to help him. Just think, without Nefertiti and Akhenaten, the ancient Egyptians would have still been worshiping statues, and many gods.
