to unite the gods of ancient Egypt, including the god Amun-Re in the
form of one god, Aten, although there are doubts about the extent of his
success in this, and moved the capital from Thebes to his new capital
Akhetaten, queens, and showing the art realistic, especially in

Has been busy King Akhenaten Baslahath religious and went on foreign
policy and management empire extended until the upper Euphrates and
Nubia in the south, severing the Asian part of them, and when he died,
his successor Smonkh Ka Ra and his brother, Tutankhamun, who rebounded
from the doctrine of Aton and left the capital to Thebes and announced
the return of the doctrine of Amun, declaring that Tut Tutankhamun, the demolition of the effects of the priests of Thebes Akhenaten and his city, and hinted his name from it.
There
are many theories about the fate of Akhenaten, but there is no
conclusive evidence on what happened to him after years of moving to his
new capital.
The
continued search for the tomb of King Akhenaten has found the first
tomb in the Valley of the Kings in the 19th century and in the twentieth
century without reaching a firm conclusion, so I started studies by the
Supreme Council of Antiquities and the University of Cairo on the
mummies, as announced in February 2010 that the group had discovered
through the analysis DNA
analysis of genes that «the mummy in tomb 55 in the Valley of the Kings
is the mummy of the father of King Golden King Tutankhamun, it was
believed that the mummy belonged to a man who died between the ages of
20 and 25 years, but it turned out the result of research that he had
died between the ages of 45 and 50 years, a the son of Amenhotep III and Queen T, which indicates that he himself Akhenaten
Assets of Akhenaten
Akhenaten was the younger son of King Amenhotep III of the Queen T, which was the great favorite of the wife of Amenhotep III, was not destined to be Akhenaten Crown until the death of his older brother Thutmose.
Extended the reign of King Amenhotep III for about 38 years, died after leaving the throne to his son Omnhotپ fourth and probably after the reign of a joint (coregency) lasted between 1 to 2 or 12 years, where it is believed that he took part of his father in power at the age of sixteen, [2], is believed to the reign of Akhenaten, is of 1353 BC --1 336 BC or 1351 BC --1 334 BC.
There are a lot of controversy about whether Amenhotep IV took the throne after the death of his father, Amenhotep III, or whether there is a rule of common Similarly, although it is accepted that Akhenaten himself died in year 17 of his reign, and there are a lot of controversy about whether Smonkh Ka Ra Akhenaten took part in the government perhaps 2 or 3 years earlier, after Akhenaten, the pharaoh Smonkh Ka Ra only Pharaoh, it is likely that ruled Egypt for less than one year.
New capital
Try to Akhenaten when he took the throne of the country's unification of the gods of ancient Egypt, including the god Amun-Re in the form of worship of the sun god alone, and the symbol of his Baqrsa which he called Aten, he said of his idol (that one is not a partner), and in the fourth year of his reign chose Akhenaten, the site of his new capital, and began to build in the following year, he named it Akhetaten, the horizon of any furnace, and its current location is Tel el-Amarna . He played the king and his beautiful wife Nefertiti, the role of mediator, between God Aten and the people.
Akhenaten's wives
Nefertiti is the wife of Akhenaten property has married her at the beginning of his reign, and whom he had six daughters and probably knew two of his children the children of another wife Kia.
Kia, the wife of Akhenaten and secondary Taken likely it is the mother of Tutankhamun (1332 - 1322 BC. M.).
And daughters of Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti were:
Meritaten Meritaten, his eldest daughter at the end of his reign, and were more likely it's got this title because of her marriage to Smancara.
Mikitaton his son Akhenaten, the second and the reason for this assumption is because of the death of Mikitaton reproduction in the fourth year of the reign of Akhenaten.
Ankh Aten پa age daughter, which has become the third wife of Tutankhamun later.
