Calling Ahkenaton Henotheistic is a touch revisionist. Any henotheistic leanings were likely just marketing to keep nonAtenic priests from having him murdered by his own guards. Ahkenaton was pretty darned montheistic, and the backlash that resulted was ugly. I would definitely think his ideas influenced Moses. There is no way Moses could have avoided the concept growing up where and when he did.
Do not take this as a comment that Ahkenaton was the most influential man in history. I do not think so. I would lean towards Abraham and/or Locke
