I've heard some weird things about the Emperor. Specifically, like he was in the Egyptian empire, lived for thousands of years, had an actual name, ect. I am guessing the Horus Heresy series will eventually find it's way to the siege on the Emperor's palace, but I don't think I've seen a single bit of dialog or personal decision from the Emperor, past making the space marines and uniting the planets in a general sense. I am curious, is there any cannon sources that go further into the emporer?

IIRC he is born in Africa about 10,000 BC
Perhaps he has an affair with the mistress of Pharaoh Seti I—other men are forbidden to touch her. When the Pharaoh discovers their tryst, thye murder the monarch. He and his priests flee across the desert to Hamunaptra, the city of the dead but are caught by Seti's guards. He is forced to endure the curse of Hom Dai: his tongue is cut out, and he is buried alive with a swarm of flesh-eating scarabs but later awakened by an American adventurer and a English archealogist

According to Mechanicum, the Emperor was the inspiration for the story behind St. George and the Dragon, when the Emperor fought and defeated the Dragon (the C'tan).

I think there is "the last church", where the Emperor, beloved by all, talks with a priest about religion.

Then why is the Emperor always depicted as a Native American?
@OP: Read First Heretic, the Emperor speaks to Lorgar there and you see his awesome psykic power.

The Emperor's only psychic trick he uses on more than one occasion is making himself appear different.

That is Imhotep the First who is an egyptian royal priest. While the historical figure is a fact, the story is false, and was a movie from 1999 called The Mummy, which I'm sure is where you got this little tale from.

I think that the best picture of what he would actually of looked like is the pictureof his with Horus at the end of the heresy.
