  • "Official action against"

  • "Glorified them"

  • "Ignored their rule"

  • "Continued their policies"

Answer

**Official action against the Amarna rulers:** Horemheb's rule marked a significant shift away from the religious and artistic revolution of the Amarna period. He actively sought to undo the legacy of the previous pharaoh Akhenaten, reversing his religious reforms and restoring the traditional Egyptian pantheon. This led to the removal of Akhenaten's monuments and the suppression of his cult.
