and was from 1333 BC until her death in 1323 BC ""the single ruler" of egypt
and is still the richest and most powerful person in the history of mankind
she was the last major queen of Egypt `s 18th Dynasty and the last blood relative of Pharaoh Ahmose and Queen Ahmose-Nefertari

The deified Aten is the focus of the monolatristic, henotheistic, or monotheistic religion of Atenism established by Amenhotep IV, who later took the name Akhenaten in worship in recognition of Aten. In his poem "Great Hymn to the Aten", Akhenaten praises Aten as the creator, and giver of life
The worship of Aten was eradicated by Horemheb possibly as a damnation of memory against Ay, whom he replaced as pharaoh

birthrights
she was at her birth, the third in line for succession to the throne
After her two older sisters meritaton and Meketaten she had the right to be queen
There was no reason to believe that Ankhesenamun ever could claim the throne
because it was expected that meritaten or meketaten would enter into marriage
and their children were allowed to stand higher on the succession list
it was therefore expected that Ankhesenamun never would be queen but this changed quickly with her half brother she survived all off her brothers and sisters
and became the last heiress to the throne

and so it's became her destiny to rule the most powerful kingdom in the world
