Monolatry vs. Monotheism: Atenism is often described as monolatristic, meaning it acknowledged the existence of other gods but insisted on the exclusive worship of Aten. This differs from true monotheism, which denies the existence of any other deities.

The ancient Egyptians primarily practiced polytheism, worshiping many gods. However, during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten in the 14th century BC, a form of monotheism centered on the worship of the sun god Aten was briefly established, but it did not last long after his death.

Monotheism is the belief in a single, all-powerful God who is the creator and sustainer of the universe. This concept is central to Judaism .others followed later.

in Exodus 4:4 God commands Moses, atop Mt. Horeb, to hold the staff-turned-snake by the tail, an action to be compared with the many portrayals of the young Horus holding snakes (and other animals) by the tail. Once again, so Horus, so Moses, as the latter becomes the equal to the former (and by extension to Pharaoh).

I may be wrong, (Horus is the god of kingship, and Pharaoh was considered the living embodiment of Horus) Horus was there and so were pharaohs, long before the arrival of Moses the Hebrew.

I do not believe a Jew became a Pharaoh.
