The pharoahs were thought of as gods by their people. Did early Christians borrow the man-god idea from the Egyptians? In each case the person so ordained and their followers believed in the divinity of the man-gods. I believe that other defunct religions of the past also had a repertoire of human gods that walked the Earth, Hercules comes to mind for one. The making of a man into a god isn't new, so why is it accepted as fact?
Those ancient Greek "human gods that walked the Earth" were deities that were anthropomorphized. On the other hand, the pharaohs were men who were deified.
There is more Reality in myth than meets the eye, than can be imagined. It is as though all the Myths are simply distortions of the Knowledge of a Reality that existed long, long, long, before the creation of the myth. There is more True Knowledge of Reality in Geneses than meets the eye. Noah was thought of being perfect until he created the first Wine and got drunk revealing his nakedness. Adam and Eve are not the First Man and Woman. Adam born of the dust of the ground is Man’s, Mankind’s, his and her, Flesh Body. Eve born of the side of Adam is not born of the dust of the ground but is instead a Creation, is Mankind’s second Nature.
