<p><p><p><p><p>Akhenaten's deal... what I think is... he was just like the other pharaohs and would believe in the Egyptian gods, but it was when Moses showed up in his life and he escaped with the Hebrews he began to realize... perhaps Moses's God is the right one. So he started forming monotheistic beliefs. I don't know... it seems to make more sense to me because Akhenaten is the only Pharaoh I know of who was known for religious reformation. Plus... Moses would return to Egypt from Midian when he was 80... and God told Moses to come back to Egypt when "all the people who wanted him dead" were dead themselves (Thutmose III anyone?). It could be possible Thutmose III did not like the relationship Moses (Senenmut? the name literally means mother's brother) had with the "pharaoh's daughter" (Hatshepsut?).</p></p></p></p></p>
