Aton was an ancient Egyptian deity representing the sun disk, and he became prominent during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten in the 14th century BCE. Aton was worshipped as the sole god in a radical religious shift known as Atenism, which emphasized monotheism and the direct relationship between the pharaoh and the sun. This shift aimed to diminish the influence of the traditional polytheistic priesthood and the worship of other gods. The cult of Aton ultimately fell out of favor after Akhenaten's death, leading to a return to the traditional pantheon of Egyptian gods.
