During his reign, Akenaten made a very controversial change in religion. He abolished the practice of worshiping numerous deities and introduced the worship of one God called Aten. He also moved the capital to Amara. When he died his practice of one god disappeared and the old religious practices were restored. Tutankhamun also introduced the practice of worshipping one god Aton. This however angered the priests that led to abandon his belief in one god.
