Egypt experienced many years of changes in art during the reign of Akhenaton since images of other gods were replaced by the images of Aton.

Remember, start your paper with a good strong topic (thesis) sentence that introduces your subject or intrigues the reader. Avoid starting (or using anywhere in your paper) with “My assignment was…”. or “There was not much information on this subject…” or “I had a difficult time finding information on this subject.” You want an interesting opening line, not a plea for sympathy nor a confession of little effort on your part.
