Tut's real name was Tutankhaten (or Tutankhaton), but to avoid being associated with Akhenaten, he changed his name to Tutankhamen's to associate himself with the god Amen (or Amun), who Akhenaten had destroyed.
8. Aphrodite

10. Arabian Nights
11. Hariti. Hariti, whose name in Sanskrit means "The Snatcher," was originally an Indian deity who ate children and had 500 of her own. To show Hariti the suffering she caused, Buddha hid her youngest child under the child's begging bowl. Converted, Hariti became the goddess of children. Her cult spread to China, where she is known as protector of children and women in childbirth. Hariti became especially popular in Japan, where she is known as Kishimo-jin.
12. Venus. She was said to have been born out of the waves of the sea, and she later became the goddess of love and beauty. She was married to Vulcan, the god of metalwork, and was the mother of Cupid, god of love. She is often depicted as a full-grown woman being transported on a shell to the seashore. Venus was the Roman equivalent of the Greek Aphrodite.
