How were Amon’s name and images removed from Egyptian monuments under Akhenaten?

Beginning around his fifth regnal year and intensifying by his ninth, Akhenaten initiated a systematic program to remove the name and image of the Theban god Amon from monuments throughout Egypt. This campaign involved the physical excision of Amon’s name from older inscriptions and monuments, a process that resulted in widespread destruction within many Egyptian temples.12

In addition to targeting Amon, this program occasionally extended to the removal of references to other deities, including Amon’s consort, Mut, and the plural word "gods". While the specific motivations behind this drastic measure remain unclear, it was part of a broader religious shift in which Akhenaten elevated the Aton above all other deities, eventually suspending the cults of traditional gods to focus worship on the solar disk.123
