MOSES AKHENATEN
Not many biblical scholars make a connection between Moses and king Akhenaten, so I will do it, again, since I don't have an academic career to worry about.
Moses Akhenaten Connections:
Moses is a prince of the Royal family of Egypt. Akhenaten is a king of the 18th dynasty of Egypt.
Moses is enforcing the worship of 'I am that I am' Lord God of Israel aka Yahweh/Jehovah (Yahw). Akhenaten is enforcing the worship of Aten by outlawing all other gods and consolidating the connection to the divine in himself alone.
Moses was an ethnic Egyptian and genetic Hebrew Israelite from the house of Levi (the priests). Akhenaten was ethnic and genetic Egyptian from the line of king David (Thutmose III) on his father's side, king Amenhotep III (king Solomon), and one quarter Semite on his mother's side, Queen Tiye, who was the daughter of vizir Yuya (Yahweh) who rose to power while being a foreigner due to his wits and distant family relations to Abraham (king Amenemhat I), which is a story of Joseph one of twelve sons of Jacob/Yakov aka Israel/Yasheral. The story of pharaoh's dream interpretation is from the time of king Djoser whose chancellor/high priest Imhotep has successfully predicted the coming of the draught thus enabling the king to be prepared for it. The story of Joseph and the wife of Potiphar, the captain of Pharaoh's guard, is the ancient Egyptian Story of Two Brothers, which is quite dramatic to say they least.
Hymn to Aten is plagiarized as Psalm 104.
The ineffable name of Jewish God is described by four Hebrew letters YHVH which is referred to as tetragrammaton; tetra (four) gramma (letters) Aton (god of Akhenaten).
Aton-ement as reparation (payment/service) or expiation (amends) for sins through redemption (transaction) involving exchange of money, blood and burned offerings. Not to be confused with the salvation through repentance (changing mind).
Moses lead the exodus from Egypt into Canaan. King Akhenaten lead the exodus from Egypt into Canaan.
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck. The only historical character who fits Moses profile is heretic (ironically) king Akhenaten of ill fated 18th dynasty. And it fits like a glove. His story was later embellished with older Mesoamerican stories of the burning bush diety, wondering forty years in the desert, etc., while the rounded tablets of law is borrowed from the two feathers of the crown of supreme diety Amun (hidden) that symbolize goddess Ma'at (truth) whose 42 negative confessions were recited by the ancient Egyptians in first person manner, "I live in truth. I relate in peace. I am kind. I do the best I can. I praise the Goddess and the God." etc., whereas Moses writes his commandments from the second person, "Thy shalt not kill. Thy shalt not steal." etc., slight but important difference. I think the Egyptians got it right, saying from the first person makes it more individualized in conscious self reflection.
So, yah, as a Levite myself am thus related to Akhenaten directly on my father's side, which is both cool and utterly heartbreaking the more I know about his character and the chaos which he has subsequently unleashed unto the whole world in the name of henotheistic monotheism as the cult of Aten, which then got merged with the Canaanite pantheon, light cults of Yahw, fire cults of Moloch and later Persian Zoroastrianism, Adon as local tribal diety, etc. to become the temperamental God of Judaism.
SUPPLEMENTARY
Wow, didn't expect to find a video about Akhenaten's mom queen Tiye, wife of Amenhotep III aka biblical king Solomon and daughter of Vizir Yuya aka biblical Joseph one of 12 sons of Jacob, who was a foreigner yet rose to be second in command in Egypt. The story of Joseph is a mix of different sources. He was sold for twenty silver coins, similar to the betrayal of Jesus, to a capitan of a pharoh's guard Potiphar.
AI Overview: "The story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife, found in Genesis 39, describes Potiphar's wife repeatedly attempting to seduce Joseph, a slave in her household, but he consistently refuses her advances, fleeing when she grabs his cloak. In retaliation for his rejection, she falsely accuses him of attempted rape to her husband, Potiphar, using his discarded cloak as evidence, which leads to Joseph's unjust imprisonment." Well this is reworked ancient Egyptian tale of Two Brothers, however I think the original is far more dramatic. Then while in prison, Joseph's interpretation of a pharaoh's dream is based on the actual story of king Djoser of 3rd dynasty Old Kingdom who has supposedly built a step pyramid.
However the real character of Joseph is none other than Yuya, his name indicates that he was early follower of Canaanite Yahu cult, which in turn came there with the Indo-Aryan expansion of Hatties/Catties, Hittites, and Hyksos who were of similar if not the same culture, then gradually making its way into the Canaanite pantheon before taking over as a supre diety. So Yuya manages to marry a royal princess and his daughter Tiye then becomes the great royal wife of Amenhotep III father of troublesome Akhenaten who is the prototype of later biblical Moses, a composit of Akhenaten's historical figure and his traumatic impact on the ancient world mixed with the stories of ancient native Mesoamerican cultures, parting the sea for example is a tradition of the Cakchiquels. Also Mesoamerican are the burning bush, tower of Babel, wandering forty years in the desert, the flood myths, and so on, while Genesis is also partly based on Popol Vuh of Quiche Maya. Then too the Sumerian sources such as epic of Gilgamesh, Enuma Elish, Ascend of Adapa, Enki and Ninhursag, etc.
Anyway, interesting find. Not many people talk about proto semitic Yuya and how he has wiggled his way all the way to the top, which is still done by his many descendants and followers of what later became the cult of Aten, Yahweh, and Rabbinical Hasidic Habad Judaism whose God they don't even know.

HYMN TO ATEN & PSALM 104
Why the similarities between the The Great Hymn to the Aten (c. 1350 BCE so they say according to mainstream chronology, I prefer alternative timeline proposed by Emmanuel Velikovsky in his book Ages in Chaos with added 500 years theory thus placing heretic king Akhenaten around 850 BCE) and Psalm 104.
That is written by Akhenaten aka Moses in prise of Aten through which solar diety he has consolidated his power as a king. Amen, means hidden, is the Supreme diety of Egypt, was accessible to all people and seen as patron of the poor and common folk. Akhenaten has outlawed the worship of Amen and closed all the ancient temples.
However his radical religious believes didn't stick and he had to flee Egypt with his entourage of Hyksos, Shasu & Midianite Yahwists and Atenists into the Midianite territory at Sinai desert then to the Phoenician coast of Canaan at Levant where their Yahw cult, originally diety of metal working and volcanoes, begun absorbing local Canaanite dieties such as thunder weather god Baal Haddad, god of fire Moloch, gods of war and sun, eventually replacing El as consort of Asherah, as evidenced at the Elephantine island Temple, before becoming one and only God of that cult. The subsequent Temple rituals were explained away as ATONment (mind of Aton) for the sins (Sin is another name of Yahweh as a moon diety) in redemption, i.e. transaction involving blood sacrifices, as in redeeming a coupon.
Thus his name ATON became unpronounceable tetragrammaton YHWH (Yahw means light in ancient Egyptian) which is Greek, tetra means four, gramm (grammar) means letters, Aton is the name of the diety -- tetragrammATON -- aka Yahweh aka Jehovah aka Kronos aka Saturn aka Satan aka Jacob aka Israel aka the root chakra of the crotch region of the lower part of the melothesia human body, the upper part where the head is is attributed to Judah aka Jupiter aka Zeus Pater aka Christ Consciousness of the mount Olympus.

WAS AKHENATEN FIRST MONOTHEIST?
Not really. He was the first to consolidate the Supreme divine power as the embodiment of it on earth in the king. Absolute rule. Kings before had claim of divine appointment and origins however the connection to the divinity was not exclusive to the rest of the people. All ancient traditions had one Creator concept, they weren't that stupid, natives of Americas have Great Spirit, Mesopotamians and Canaanites had their first Mother and Father, Anu and Ki, El and Asherah, etc., the Egyptians had their Supreme diety Amun (hidden 'truth') of Thebes who was merged with Ra (mind, sun, revealed 'truth') of On / Heliopolis as AmunRa and Djehuti lunar diety of wisdom, writing, and magic of Hermopolis (Khmunu). Amun seen as the original Source of being and Consciousness itself an aspect of primordial eternal Hemnyw (Ogdoad) from where the Pezjet (Ennead) of the physical realm have emerged. So the idea of one God is as old as the world itself. All cultures had it in one form or another. Granted some have preferred henotheistic pantheism vs others preferred animism or monotheistic pantheism or panenthenism altogether.
Akhenaten has forced his idea of God as only coming through the king on everyone however that revolution has failed and he had to flee. That's henotheistic monotheism as dictatorship. Not true monotheism which the cult of Aten was trying to replace. Hence why the laws of Ma'at (truth) were recited as negative confessions from the first person; "I did not kill, I did not steal" etc. because people had their personal connection to the divine, whereas Akhenaten wanted to be that connection for the people whose laws were commanded unto people as an external to them authority, that's the laws of so called Moses, mose means 'born of', "Thy shalt not kill, Thy shalt not steal" etc. So that was departure from true spirituality of true monotheism into heresy the result of which we see today with so called Abrahamic religions.
Therefore, Akhenaten's reforms were in fact imperial monotheism focused on absolute power of the king and his courts not actual monotheism in true spiritual sense of it.
