Akhen-Aten was said to have been a heretic for trying to disregard all the temples of individual (Netchers/ Natures) and consolidate all of their powers into the addoration of the aten disc which was basically a move to centralize the spiritual system at the time. The capital of Kemet would move according to the solar cycles up and down the nile to different locations for centralized power. Akhen Aten and his queen Nefertiti moved their capital to Amarna which was at the center in relation to north and south Kemet (In relation to the higher and lower self of the body of the king or kingdom of Ausar). Preist and temple organizations of netchers of lesser force would not want to compete with an ideal of adoration and worship consolidated into one force under the aten that would subsequently make them lose membership and influence in comparison.
People say Akhen-Aten was deformed or sick because of his appearance in art, but he was really trying to convey a concept. And that was that him and his queen were one and united.
So he wasn''t mis featured, but was merging his features with hers showing the balance of him and her between masculine and feminine as one force. An aten like concept.
