Egyptian Pharoah Amenhotep IV is considered the first to have monotheistic tendncies on a wide scale. His monotheistic religion was rejected by his successor, Pharaoh Tutankhamen, though small groups of Aten (sun god) followers continued. Some believe that Moses was influenced by Aten's priests.
Amenhotep IV ruled from 1352-1336 B.C., which is a good 150 years before Moses is supposed to have been around.
