A human is technically understood to survive with  Food,Water, Air and other lively hoods, without these supportive life  materials; a human cannot survive.Who is "THE GOD"? according to Quran, God is been defined under these criteria in chapter 112  " Say: He is Allah, the One and Only!    Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;   He begetteth not nor is He begotten.   And there is none like unto Him." A simple four line definition is been given by God himself; and non in the universe can fit in this definition.But yet there are humans beings who use to eat, drink and defecate;  claim themselves to be gods and the funniest part is that these mortal  gods gain some charmed followers in their magics.Now lets move into some of mortal gods throughout  the history, i have categorized this article into three main sections01-Ancient human gods02-Modern day human gods03-Human gods yet to dieLet's travel through the timeline of the human gods, we begin with...Ancient human gods01.

Their titles equated them with  aspects of the likes of the hawk god Horus, the vulture goddess Nekhbet  and the cobra-goddess Wadjet. The Egyptians believed that when their  Pharaoh had died, he would continue to lead them in the next life, which  is why his burial was grand and completed to perfection, to please him  in the next life and ensure his immortality to protect his people.
