Why did rames the third try to destroy all records of

Ramses the Third did not try to destroy all records of any kings except for Akhenaten. Akhenaten was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who ruled for 17 years from 1353 to 1336 BCE. He was a controversial figure who introduced significant religious and artistic reforms during his reign. After his death, his successors, including Ramses the Third, attempted to erase all evidence of his existence and accomplishments, likely due to ideological differences and the desire to restore the traditional religious practices and artistic styles of ancient Egypt. This resulted in the destruction or alteration of many monuments, statues, and other artifacts associated with Akhenaten.
