Tutankhamun
During-life deification

In ancient Egypt, pharaohs were venerated after their deaths through mortuary cults and associated temples as deities. This form of apotheosis was relegated to deceased pharaohs, but Tutankhamun was one of the few pharaohs who was worshiped in this manner during his lifetime. A stela discovered at Karnak and dedicated to Amun - Ra and Tutankhamun indicates that the king could be appealed to in his deified state for forgiveness and to free the petitioner from an ailment caused by sin. Temples of his cult were built as far away as in Kawa and Faras in Nubia. The title of the sister of the Viceroy of Kush included a reference to the deified king, indicative of the universality of his cult.
