Question

describing the religious reforms of akhenaton
how did ancient egyptians respond to the religious reforms, or changes, of akhenaton?
○ they accepted the belief in aten as the only god.
○ they mostly rejected the worship of only one god.
○ they attempted to persuade akhenaton to worship many gods.
○ they expelled any egyptian who refused to follow the new religious practices.

Explanation:

Akhenaton's religious reform introduced the worship of Aten as the sole god, deviating from ancient Egypt's traditional polytheism. Ancient Egyptians were deeply rooted in their polytheistic beliefs, so they mostly rejected the monotheistic worship of only Aten. The first option is incorrect as they didn't accept the new monotheism. The third option is wrong because common Egyptians didn't have the power to persuade a pharaoh. The fourth option is incorrect as there's no historical evidence of widespread expulsion for non - compliance.

Answer:

B. They mostly rejected the worship of only one god.
