Akhenaten (pronounced /ˌækəˈnɑːtən/),[8] also spelled Echnaton,[9] Akhenaton,[3] Ikhnaton,[2] and Khuenaten[10][11] (Ancient Egyptian: ꜣḫ-n-jtn, meaning "Effective for the Aten"), was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh reigning c. 1353–1336[3] or 1351–1334 BC,[4] the tenth ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Before the fifth year of his reign, he was known as Amenhotep IV (Ancient Egyptian: jmn-ḥtp, meaning "Amun is satisfied", Hellenized as Amenophis IV).

Atenism
Akhenaten is noted for abandoning Egypt's traditional polytheistic religion and introducing Atenism, worship centered on Aten. The views of Egyptologists differ whether Atenism should be considered as absolute monotheism, or whether it was monolatry, syncretism, or henotheism.[12][13] This culture shift away from traditional religion was not widely accepted. After his death, Akhenaten's monuments were dismantled and hidden, his statues were destroyed, and his name excluded from lists of rulers compiled by later pharaohs.[14] Traditional religious practice was gradually restored, notably under his close successor Tutankhamun, who changed his name from Tutankhaten early in his reign.[15] When some dozen years later rulers without clear rights of succession from the Eighteenth Dynasty founded a new dynasty, they discredited Akhenaten and his immediate successors, referring to Akhenaten himself as "the enemy" or "that criminal" in archival records.[16][17]
Akhenaten was all but lost to history until the late 19th century discovery of Amarna, or Akhetaten, the new capital city he built for the worship of Aten.[18] Furthermore, in 1907, a mummy that could be Akhenaten's was unearthed from the tomb KV55 in the Valley of the Kings by Edward R. Ayrton. Genetic testing has determined that the man buried in KV55 was Tutankhamun's father,[19] but its identification as Akhenaten has since been questioned.[6][7][20][21][22]
Akhenaten's rediscovery and Flinders Petrie's early excavations at Amarna sparked great public interest in the pharaoh and his queen Nefertiti. He has been described as "enigmatic", "mysterious", "revolutionary", "the greatest idealist of the world", and "the first individual in history", but also as a "heretic", "fanatic", "possibly insane", and "mad".[12][23][24][25][26] The interest comes from his connection with Tutankhamun, the unique style and high quality of the pictorial arts he patronized, and ongoing interest in the religion he attempted to establish.

Answer:
The statements about the Cold War that are true are: It never became an actual war, and it pitted communism against democracy.
Explanation:
The Cold War is a period in American and the former Soviet Union relations that followed WWII and lasted until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the collapse of the USSR in 1991. The overt conflict was fought largely by proxy incidents and wars like the Berlin Crisis (1961), the Suez Crisis (1956), the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962), and wars like the Vietnam War and Russia's war with the Mujahideen in Afghanistan.
The correct answer is "C)":
The origins of the 2 main political parties in the country: The Republican Party and the Democrat party, come from the 19th century and the rivalry between them has been going on since.
The Republican Party or Grand Old Party was founded in 1854. It stood against the extension of slavery to the country´s new territories and aimed for the complete abolition of slavery as well as the minimum interference by the government in economic affairs. Their current view is American conservationism.
The Democratic Party was founded in 1828. It initially supported slavery and opposed to civil rights reforms during the 19th century. However, it had a major change in its ideology during the 20th century, as it shifted to the support of organized labor and the civil rights of minority populations. Their current view supports modern Liberalism which promotes social and economic equality.
More than 150 years of rivalry and tradition have contributed to this prevalence of the two-party system in the United States.
