Aten

1. His father Amenhotep III had already challenged the powerful priesthood by proclaiming the sun god Aten as foremost among Egyptian deities and himself as his living incarnation.
   他宣称太阳神阿坦是埃及诸神中最具威力的神灵。他本人则是太阳神的转世化身。
2. His son shook things up even more, not only changing his name to honor the new god ( Akhenaten means "one who serves Aten") but also banishing the older gods, especially the priestly favorite Amen.
   他儿子做的更甚。他不仅把自己的名字改为阿肯纳坦（意为阿坦的仆人）以表示对太阳神的敬意，而且不许人们崇拜以往的神灵，特别是教会的至爱阿门神。
