Question
how did akhenatons reforms affect the priests of the old religion?
the priests lost power in egypt.
the priests supported akhenaton.
the priests helped move the capital.
the priests converted to the new religion.
Akhenaten's reforms introduced a new monotheistic religion centered on Aten, which challenged the traditional polytheistic beliefs supported by the old religion's priests. This led to the priests of the old religion losing their power and influence in Egypt as the new religious system diminished their role. The other options are incorrect: priests opposed Akhenaten (so they didn't support him), they didn't help move the capital, and they largely resisted the new religion rather than converting.
