He claimed to be the father and mother of his people which explains the femininity of his statues, ie. hips and breasts. By year 5 he changed his name to represent the sun god (aten). May know which tomb is his (tomb 55), but the ceiling fell down and everything was crushed, most of which was previously robbed. Certain reliefs made to look more like akhenaten. They had 6 daughters and one son, tutankhamun. Daughter, amarna princess, giant skull probably not realistic, face look like nefertiti.
