Toward the start of Tutankhaten's rule, the regal court was as yet situated at

Amarna, and proof from his burial chamber shows that the Aten was still
acknowledged.[53] However a few bits of proof propose that his court was attempting
to accommodate Atenism with the customary religion,[54][55][56] and action at
Amarna diminished during the initial four years of his reign.[57]

These years saw sensational inversions of Akhenaten's strategies, which, given the
ruler's young age, probably been prompted by his advisors.[58] In the third year of
Tutankhaten's rule, his name was changed to "Tutankhamun", and that of his
sovereign to "Akhesenamun".[59][60] The Reclamation Stela, which presumably dates
to Year 4 of Tutankhamun's rule, describes the Amarna Time frame as a period of
catastrophe, saying "sanctuaries and the homes of the divine beings and goddesses
from Colossal to the bogs of the Delta had crumbled to pieces… In the event that
you asked a divine being for guidance, he wouldn't join in; and in the event that
one addressed a goddess in like manner she wouldn't attend."[61] The stela declares
the reconstructing of the customary cults;[62] clerics and different individuals
from sanctuary staffs were reestablished to their previous positions.[63]
