Pharaoh Akhenaten's rule of Khemet, now known as ancient Egypt in northeast Africa along the Nile River, is reflected in the archaelogical records as one with a long period of peace and prosperity throughout the kingdom. Akhenaten ruled the throne of a unified Khemet with his wife Queen Nefertiti. He is best known as the first ruler on Earth to leave a written record of the belief in the concept of One Supreme God.
The Khemet civilization developed around 3150 BCE with the political unification of its Upper and Lower regions. The nation would be independent from foreign forces for the next three millennea.

Pharaonic rule officially ended in 31 BCE when the early Roman Empire conquered the nation.
