Pharaohs gained power through inheritance, as the position was typically passed down through royal bloodlines. They were considered divine rulers with absolute authority over Egypt, controlling the government, military, and religious institutions. Additionally, pharaohs solidified their power through strong bureaucracies and infrastructure projects like building pyramids.
