It doesn't explain the reason for his change of name. That his father Akenaten, introduced the worship of the Aten. The sun disk. On his death the country went back to worshipping Amun.

It was the practice for the pharaoh and their family to keep the royal and divine line together, so many siblings were married. He married his half sister Ankhesenamun. It’s also part of the reason their bloodline suffered from many syndromes. Definitely worth reading more into as Tutankhamun was not a very rich or profound ruler, his tomb only lucky for its smaller riches to not be found and plundered.

Player Elf Counsel, too drastic a change for such a short period of time. Other than the Israelites, the idea of only one deity was revoloutionary.
