Akhenaten - Pharaoh of Moses' story (Qur'an and Bible)?

 I do love it when I link Qur'an stories to historical events and Biblical (Old and New Testament) stories.

Who was that man? "And Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? " - Quran Chapter 89 verse 10 

"A royal barge with a large central cabin is shown below moored to the bank by ropes attached to two stakes at the bottom right. A stepped gangplank leads down to the shore. One sailor stands on the boat, while the second on the land above seems to be dragging the mast with sails to the royal boat.

On the boat itself there is a large two-tiered cabin with a uraeus cornice. An open structure is attached to the front. And at the forecastle of the boat is a separate kiosk typical of of royal boats. The small kiosk is decorated with a representation of Akhenaten smiting an enemy, with the Aten overhead and with Nefertiti and a princess standing behind."

Of self-deification in the middle of the sun state?

I would like to say that it seems 100%  like Akhenaten to me.

It is historically evidenced that his rule caused instability and denigrated the Pharaonic system - he was excluded from state lists of rulers by succeeding kings:

Qur'an Chapter 43 verse 46

"And We made them a precedent (as a lesson for those coming after them), and an example to later generations.

This removal from institutional records was owing to his Atenism, which supplanted the polytheistic traditions of Egypt.

For Akhenaten, Atenism was founded to shore up his ideological regime.

Aten was a sun-disc in the repertoire of the Pharaonic system of Ra (Sun) worship.  

As Akhenaten used own son-of-Aten system to elevate himself to a deification, as in the established monarchic duties of Egypt left rulers the representative - not descendent, of their Lords. 

Ancient Egyptian polytheism centred on their deities being static in their own pantheon families. 

To claim to be the son of Aten, Akhenaten was proclaiming his own Lordship. 

Indeed, Akhenaten suppressed traditional polytheism.

As the only Egyptian ruler to state a deified title for himself, I am seeing that Akhenaten was the Pharaoh of Moses and his Qur'an story and Abrahamic traditions. 

The Qur'an link that Pharaoh of Moses' story was Akhenaten (Reference there to the self-deification of Akhenaten/Atenism):

1. Quran Chapter 28 verse 38:

"And Pharaoh said, “O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me." 

 In essence, Atenism rejects the worship of other lords besides Aten. 

Yet, the Classicist and Egyptologist Dominic Monsterrat posited that Atenism hymns centred on the King Akhenaten as an adjacent or higher focus to Aten.
