The Ancient Egyptians believed the Pharaohs (rulers) to be gods themselves.

Many gods were worshiped by the Pharaohs during their reign from Amun/Amen to Isis and Osiris and the god Anubis - the god jackal to Ra. Even Alexander the great was honored by the Egyptian priests as son of Amun - Zeus.

After death, the Pharaohs were believed to unite with the god Osiris.
