Lowploy Quads unwrapped with multiple textures. The statue of Egyptian king Ikhnaton, also spelled Akhenaten, was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who ruled during the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom period, around the mid-14th century BCE. He is famous for his attempts to reform Egyptian religion and society, particularly his promotion of the worship of the sun god Aten as the supreme deity.
Ikhnaton is best known for his religious revolution, which involved the promotion of Aten as the sole god to be worshipped to the exclusion of all other gods. This led to a radical departure from traditional Egyptian polytheism, where multiple gods were worshipped. He even changed his name from Amenhotep IV to Akhenaten, which means Effective for Aten.
During his reign, Ikhnaton moved the Egyptian capital from Thebes to a new city he founded called Akhetaten (modern-day Amarna), dedicated to the worship of Aten. He also initiated extensive building projects in this new city, creating a distinctive artistic style known as the Amarna style.
