Amenhotep, son of Hapu

Amanhotep, son of Hapu, lived as a non-royal official and architect in the early–mid 14th century BCE under Amenhotep III (18th Dynasty). After his death he was accorded ongoing cultic honors and in later centuries was treated as a deified human and intercessory healer; his mortuary temple was built adjacent to Amenhotep III's complex and later chapels and statues dedicated to him appear in Theban temple precincts. Scholarly accounts frame him alongside other deified mortals (notably Imhotep) as an example of exceptional individuals accorded posthumous cult.

In surviving material he is represented in human form, commonly in the conventional seated scribe pose; statues portray him both as a younger and as an older man. In the Late Period and Ptolemaic votive corpus he also appears among small reliefs and sculptor's models used in donation/votive practices alongside other popular deities.

Sources characterize his posthumous role primarily as a healer and as an intermediary figure in cult contexts, especially in relation to the god Amun. The documentary record emphasizes his function as the recipient of votive petitions and as a locus for therapeutic intercession; the sources do not provide detailed miracle narratives, possession behaviors, or fixed liturgical formulas tied to specific acts.
