Timeline | Renaissance era
The following shows the timeline morphing of the "supreme god" concept, in the renaissance era, during which time the fundamentals of religion began to come under attack (e.g. heliocentrism, atomic theory, evolution, physicochemical sociology, etc.) into things such as "creative force", "higher power", "living energy", and ontic opening theories, among other covert "god code" Trojan horse like concealments: [1]

Notes | Dating
While scholars, e.g. Karl Luckert (1991) and Gary Greenberg (2000), tend to situate Atum as the supreme god of Heliopolis, we do note that many of the pharaohs of the 0th Dynasty, e.g. Iry-Hor (3150BC), and 1st Dynasty, e.g. Hor-Aha (3050BC), were named after Horus. [2] Moreover, the gods: Horus, the sun god (Atum or Ra), and Hathor, according to Budge (pgs. 102-03), are the oldest of all. Early dynasty supreme god identification and dating is a bit of a grey area.

We also note that in the nome list, cited by Budge (1904), from inscriptions at the Temple of Edfu, Horus was the god of five of 42 nomes, and that the ‘Temple of Edfu’, dedicated to Horus, was built during the Ptolemaic period, between 327 to 57BC, which depicts the age-old conflict between Horus and Seth. The temple of Edfu fell into disuse as a religious monument following Theodosius I's edict banning non-Christian worship within the Roman Empire in 391. [3]

In the 19th dynasty, Budge, in The Gods of Egypt, VI (pgs. 131-32), cites the Papyrus of Hunefer (c.1279BC), wherein Ra-Atum is the chief god, and, via citation of a related period text, indicates that Tatenen (Memphis version of the Heliopolis Atum, i.e. land mound), Ra-Atum, and Osiris were each beginning to be referred to as ‘God One alone’, and that Amen-Ra was in the mix.

Quote
The following are related quotes:

“It is interesting to note the existence of the monks of the Serapeum, because they form a connecting link between the Egyptian priests and the Christian ascetics and monks who filled Egypt in the early centuries of our era. The worship of Apis continued in Egypt until the downfall of paganism, which resulted from the adoption of Christianity by Constantine the Great [reign: 306-337AD] and from the edicts of the Emperor Theodosius [reign: 379-395AD] .”
Wallis Budge (1904), The Gods of the Egyptians, Volume Two (pg. 349)
