"However, virtually all traces of the queen and her 'heretic' husband were erased, after his unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the pantheon of Egyptian gods and replace worship of them with the sun god Aton, in one of the earliest known practices of monotheism"

Egypt then went on to worship a minor moon god from another country in the 7th century AD....

Akhenaten and to a lesser extent Nefertiti might have been wackjobs, but the irony of it just hit me...

If you want to get into modern English vulgarity, the minor moon god now gets "mooned" five times a day by the "faithful" lifting their rumps in prayer.
