Akhenaten was an exceptional family man in Egyptian History.
“Akhenaten had an extensive family, which was well represented in the art from his reign. His parents were Amenhotep III and Tiye. Akhenaten’s name was originally Amenhotep IV, which he changed later. Akhenaten was married to Nefertiti, who is now famous because of the beautiful bust of her found at Amarna. Nefertiti’s origins are uncertain. Some historians believe that she was a foreign princess, but there is some evidence to suggest that she was a relative of Akhenaten.” (Lorenz)
“Amenhotep III’s son and successor, however, preferred the Aten to all the other forms of the sun god.” (Oakes 156)
