Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three statements are correct. The worship of Aten was unique in ancient Egyptian religious practice as he was seen as a universal creator God who took the form of a circle or disc. Aten also had a special relationship with the ruler Amunhotep IV (later known as Akhenaten) and his wife Nefertiti, as they elevated Aten to prominence and shifted religious focus away from the traditional gods of Egypt.
