" In the fifth year of his reign (1348 BC), Akhenaten made a formal break with the ancient traditional religion of Egypt, changing his name from his former throne-name, Amenhotep IV, to his new religious title Akhen-aten, 'the glory of the [sun] disk.'"

BTW, once again... no presumed scientific conclusions, but the historical coincidence of an apparent contact with believing Children of Israel and an outbreak of 'monotheism...'

That timeline you link to has little basis in actual facts, and no way of accounting for the Egpytian Empire in Cannan being coeval with the supposed "Judges period" of Israel. It is much more likely that the Israelites were in Egypt from ~1415 to ~1200, with the Exodus around that point.
