As far as I'm aware, there was no such figure as 'Amen'.
There was, however, Aten and Amun, both of whom were gods.
Let's start with Amun.
Amun was the god of the sun, commonly known as Ra. His official title was Amun-Ra, and he was responsible for moving the sun across the sky every day, and generally was one of the most awesome dudes around. After all, without the sun, there could be no farms, and with no farms society would starve to death.
Aten is another matter entirely.
When Pharoah Akhenaten took power, there was a radical shift in the religious beliefs of the kingdom. He decreed that Aten, the solar disc, was the only god of Egypt, and that Aten spoke to the people of Egypt through his only son, Akhenaten. Akhenaten then moved the seat of power from its traditional seat to the palace of Akhetaten, which was a giant complex out in the middle of the desert. He ruled from there until his death, when his successor took over. However, it's a really poor idea to compare worship of Aten with Christianity. Despite the superficial similarities, there being only one god and he speaks to the people through his son, Aten was far more hands-off than the God of, say, Moses or Jesus Christ. There are also other differences, but suffice to say that the similarities are just coincidence.

Why do you say Amen after prayers?
The Hebrew of the Old Testament reveals to us that the Scriptural Hebrew word (which means: so be it, or verily, or surely) is "Amein" and not "Amen." Likewise, the Greek equivalent in the Greek New Testament is pronounced: "Amein." The Egyptians, including the Alexandrians, had been worshiping, or been acquainted with, the head of the Egyptian pantheon, Amen-Ra, the great sun-deity, for more than one thousand years B.C. Before he was known as Amen-Ra, he was known as Amen among the Thebans. According to Funk and Wagnall's Standard College Dictionary, AMEN was the god of life and procreation in Egyptian mythology, and later identified with the Sun-god as the supreme deity and called "Amen-Ra." Smith's Bible Dictionary and Egyptian Belief and Modern Thought agree. Our Saviour Y'shua calls Himself "the Amein" in Revelation 3:14. One might ask: Have we been misled to invoke the name of the Egyptian sun-deity at the end of our prayers?
