Akhenaten, an Egyptian pharaoh, tried to elevate one god above all the other Egyptian gods, and his son, Tutankhamen, put an end to his religious reforms. This marked the first attempt at a monotheistic religion that introduced the idea of a single, all-powerful creator. But the priestly class and ordinary Egyptians, with all their household gods, rejected the new religion.
