I've become more interested in this theory over the last few years. One interesting similarity that lends credence to "some kind" of relationship can be found in Akhenaton's Hymn to the Aton and one of the Psalms of the bible. Anyway a couple of sites for drogo:
History and Philosophy of Ancient World
Akhenaten
One more just for fun
Enjoy - Bleys

If memory serves, wasn't Nerfertiti also Tutankhamen's sister? There was a lot of incest in the Egyptian royalty, and I seem to remember it occurring between those two.

People you should understand that bible is not history!!! There is absolutely nothing proven especially from the early times, until the jewish kings. Plus judaism was originally polyteistic religion, only later it became monoteistic. So no direct Achnaton influence, I fear.
Besides Achnaton created one god, only because the egyptian priests became too powerfull to control, not because he really believed it.

by "polyteistic" what do you mean never heard this term before? if it means a pantheon then where is this written? not something i have ever heard before now. in fact it seems clear to me that there was only one god ever in judisim.
as for the bible not being history the old testiment is nothing but histery. of course it would be hard to prove because there is little written history at the time period. but it is amazing how some things seem to link every once in awhile.
i have heard of the thery that achnaton started the one god religion because of the power the preists held, he didn't do a good job then because only very few actualy followed it. if it was me i'm sure i would have found a way to kill off the preists i didn't want or compleatly abolish the other religion. as it is he just left things prety much as they were and moved. i must say not a very good way to kill off an old religion, or the preistly powers. so i have some reservations about that therory.
