Touch ups

original:

Historically, this artifact was said to be sculpted during the reign of Amenhotep IV, who later changed his name to Akhenaten. Amenhotep was a ruler during the 18th dynasty and introduced the idea of monotheism, which is the belief in one god. He also brought obscure gods into more of a spotlight. Amenhotep also built the new capital of Amarna. Egypt seemed to have flourished in this time period, which would explain the relief being sculpted in this period. This relief shows very well how respected the pharaohs and royal families were in ancient Egypt.


revised:

The artifact, sculpted when Amenhotep IV reigned, came in the introduction of monotheism. Egypt flourished in this time period and the relief reflects it. This reflection shows how respected pharaohs and royal families are.
