Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Akhenaton's worship of the new sun-god Aton was imposed from above and failed to find a place among the people. The traditional worship of the widely popular sun-god was deeply ingrained in the culture and society, and the sudden shift to a singular focus on Aton was not accepted by the population. Additionally, the priesthood, who held significant power and influence, opposed the new religion and worked to undermine the pharaoh's efforts. Despite Akhenaton's efforts, the worship of Aton did not gain widespread acceptance and was ultimately abandoned after his death.
