If the even was after Akenaten they would have known of and perhaps even supported the earlier Monotheistic attempt.
Prima facie that makes a lot of sense to me. The only prolem here is that significant attempts were made to erase Akhenaten from history, as it were. What then is the vector by which this meme is communicated to Moses? We'd have to introduce, at the very least, a 'monotheist underground' to keep Akhenaten's doctrine alive. Not impossible, but probably impossible to prove.
