Now Atenism is the world's oldest Monotheistic religion, and besides Tengriism and Hinduism is the largest denomination in the world. It was the first mass appealing religions to ever come about, and probably the most important one to form in the west.

While records are scattered; references to the old pantheon of Egypt have been found, and it's noted that before then, the god of the dead for the Egyptians (Osiris if I got the name right) was the main people's god, while Amun or some such was the state religion.
So what if Ahkenaten decided to make one of these two his main vehicles, or what if he was bumped off by say the Amunites, who seemed to have some power if the ruins at Ipet-Isu are an indication? How far would history change?
