Well they ruled the country and their word was absolute law. But in addition to civil matters the Pharaoh was also the religious figurehead . He (or she) had certain religious rituals to perform to insure the continuity of the Egyptian people. This religious aspect was more important to the ancient Egyptians than all the taxes and laws combined. Some Pharaohs were considered the reincarnations of gods.
