Q1: What was the most famous thing Akhenaten did?

[Answer]

Akhenaten ruled from 1352 to 1336 BC.

Akhenaten believed that the Aten (Sun) should be the most important god, instead of Amun, who had been the most important god for centuries.

Akhenaten was hated for this by the priests and when he died most traces of him were removed.
