King Tut was Worshipped as a True God

Tutankhamun was definitely worshipped as a true god. His name meant, "Blessed of Aten." So even his long name wasn't just coincidental. Ever since Tutankhamun became king at the age of about 9-16, (no one really knows) he was worshipped all throughout Egypt. King Tut was also born during the reign of Akhenaton, the most controversial of all Egyptian pharoahs. (again, pretty coincidental) One of the laws in Egypt also talks about consequences for taking the gods for granted. (shame on you!) Tutankhamun's cartouche said, "Tutankhamun, ruler of Heliopolis in Upper Egypt." So does this mean he was only ruler in Upper Egypt? No, King Tut was ruler of all Egypt, but was worshipped and lived mostly in Upper Egypt. When King Tut's tomb was found, he became know as, "the most famous symbol of the mysterious rites, practices, and life-styles of the ancient Egyptians." So even today, we still worship him. (obviously not like the Egyptians did or anything!)
