    The pharaoh that succeeded Akhenaten? His son Tutenkhamun. King Tut… Tutenkh-Amun… in honor of God Amun.

    Edit: likely he had his mother or someone reign first for a short time while he was s child but eventually him.

      Tutankhamun was originally named Tutankhaten. He changed it when he swapped to the cult of Amun.
