During the New Kingdom, yet, Aten began to rise to bulge, and by the 18th Dynasty reign of Amenhotep III he was worshipped by an Aten cult stood by the kings wife Tiy. When King Amenhotep III's son Amenhotep IV took the throne, he exchanged his name to Akhenaten, or He who Serves Aten, to honor the deity and then determined that only Aten should be worshiped passim Egypt. By Akhenatens dominate, temples devoted to other gods were involved and sometimes damaged or even lost. However, the  priests  of  these  temples  were  not asked to process the new religion, because Akhenaten express himself the sole go-between between Aten and humans.
