In metmuseum.com, it is stated that:

“The second type comprises letters from rulers who were powerful kings in their own right and controlled large territories such as Babylonia and Mitanni . In both tone and content, these letters differ considerably from those of the Levantine rulers. These rulers use terms of equality, referring to the Egyptian king as a 'brother' "

Egypt was one of the great ‘superpowers’ back then, and the other powerful kings treated him as one: Equal. Akhenaten accepted these gifts and interactions of diplomacy with 'superpowers'. Metmuseum.com stated: “Direct exchanges, such as royal marriages" which show Akhenaten’s diplomacy skills are evident due to there being evidence of direct exchanges.

Creating lots of buildings such as The Great Temple of Aten and el-Amarna hastily has diminished the resources of Ancient Egypt, ruining their economy as they had less resources to barter and trade with other neighbouring countries.

Depreciation (during the time)

* in today’s world, relics appreciates in value

Britannica stated Akhenaten's reign as:

 “(1353–36 BCE)”

Akhenaten’s reign lasted 17 years. The city took around 1-2 years to be abandoned after Akhenaten's death, the Depreciation would have been for 10 years. This is saying the materials would last at the minimum of 100 years. The city's depreciation is merely 10%, at the estimated largest depreciation value it could have been.

The website www.amarnaproject.com states about the temple:

"The larger of the two Aten temples was defined by a brick enclosure wall enclosing an area 800 x 300 metres."

240000meters(squared) = 93,272,116.2845 Modular bricks to create the temple.

1 Modular brick = 190mm

1 modular brick: 1.15 AUD 

Price to create the temple: $107,262,933.727 AUD.

The resources they put into the capital city were exponential. Because of that, Egypt's materials were depleted and the economy suffered because of Akhenaten's negligence to think ahead.

In Britannica Encylopedia, it is stated that: “Sun’s disk itself, elevated to the heavens and extending its multiple rays down over the royal family.” (Seen in primary source photo)

The primary and secondary sources state and show Aten’s importance in Akhenaten’s religious policy.

Akhenaten forced the people of Egypt to accept Aten as their only God and did that by excluding other Gods from ceremonies, rituals and important events.

The effect: The High priests of Egypt did not like these changes, and their new founded distaste in the Pharaoh was starting to begin.

Akhenaten certainly made lots of heretical choices (changing the entirety of religion of Ancient Egypt to worship one God: Aten,  breaking the chain of Amenhotep), causing the priests to dislike him.(0/10)

Buildings

Akhenaten's buildings were very large scale, but detrimental for the economy as he did not think about the aftereffect of his decision.(3/10)

Internal Administration

Akhenaten did not think about depreciation leading to a very bad value: (10% estimated largest it could be) damaging the economy.(1/10)

External administration

Akhenaten had evident diplomatic skills shown through the Amarna letter: EA-29, where the king discussed direct marriages and gifts.(8/10)
