He was assassinated, leading to the eventual reign of his famous boy-king nephew, Tutankhaton, renamed by the priests as [[Tutankhamun]], or "King Tut". His [[monotheism]] did not survive his reign. After his death, Egypt went back to the former [[polytheistic]] religion, and the royal priests regained their power.

Akhenaton died young was succeeded by the mysterious Semenkhhare, who ruled for only a year or two. There is much speculation concerning Semenkhhare, including one theory that "he" was Nefertiti posing as a man. Semenkhhare was succeeded by [[Tutankhamun]], Akhenaton's son and still a boy at this time. Tutankhamun reversed many of his father's policies. Egypt reverted to [[polytheism]] and the priests of Amun regained their power.
