Best Answer

King Akhenaton and his queen Nefertiti were worshipers of the God of the Sun, Aten. Opposition arose when Akhenaton destroyed statues of Amun, many peoples prefered God, many temples reverted to the throne. Corruption grew and Akhenenaton left Thebes and moved to a new capital in Middle Egypt, half way between Memphis and Thebes. The sight was not previosly dedicated to any Gods or Godesses so he named it Akhenaten-The Horizon of the Aten. Today the site is known as el-Amarna.
