VOL. V — DEIFIED HUMANS
Vol. V · The History of God
Deified Humans
c. 2500 BCE – present
When men become gods.
Pharaohs. Roman emperors. Chinese sage-kings. Inca lords of the sun. Mughal philosopher-kings. Modern god-kings still walking. The cult of personality is not a 20th-century invention — it is one of the oldest religious patterns we have. This volume traces it from the Old Kingdom to the present, where deification persists in the iconography of mass media even when official theology has moved on.
48 figures — divine kingship, imperial cult, modern celebrity apotheosis — across five millennia.
