Amenhotep IV, Tut's father as a king renounced the multitude of G-ds
Egypt had experienced few cultural changes for thousands of years– until King Tut's father Akhenaten came along and turned everything upside down and inside out! Noticing that the influential priesthood was getting too big for its britches, he put all the priests out of work by declaring that the old gods of Egypt no longer existed. Instead, there was now only one god, the Aten, and it was the sun itself! Since the old religion was gone, the temples dedicated to the gods were closed down and the priests were suddenly unemployed.

He changed it to Akhenaten. There was also an attempt after his death to strike him from history as a heretic.
