Tutankhamun or Tutankhamen (; ), was the thirteenth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt, who ruled . Born Tutankhaten, he instituted the restoration of the traditional polytheistic form of ancient Egyptian religion, undoing a previous shift to the religion known as Atenism. Tutankhamun's reign is considered one of the greatest restoration periods in ancient Egyptian history, and his tomb door proclaims his dedication to illustrative constructions of the ancient Egyptian gods.

Akhenaten (pronounced ), also spelled Akhenaton, Echnaton, and Khuenaten ( ʾŪḫə-nə-yātəy, , meaning 'Effective for the Aten'), was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh reigning or 1351–1334 BC, the tenth ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Originally named Amenhotep IV (, meaning "Amun is satisfied", Hellenized as Amenophis IV), in the fifth year of his reign he adopted the name "Akhenaten".
