The Ancient Egyptians believed the Pharaohs (rulers) to be gods themselves.
Many gods were worshiped by the Pharaohs during their reign from Amun/Amen to Isis and Osiris and the god Anubis - the god jackal to Ra. Even Alexander the great was honored by the Egyptian priests as son of Amun - Zeus.
After death, the Pharaohs were believed to unite with the god Osiris.

∙ 13y agoThe Egyptians viewed the ruling pharaoh as a god, the son of the sun-god Ra, and not merely as a representative of the gods. He was thought to be the incarnation of the falcon-headed god Horus the successor of Osiris. Among the pompous titles accorded him were "the sun of the two worlds," "Lord of the Crown," "the mighty god," "offspring of Ra," "the eternal," and many, many others.
Pharaoh, who was viewed as a God by the Egyptians, challenged the only true God, Jehovah.
(Exodus 5:2) . . .Phar′aoh said: "Who is Jehovah, so that I should obey his voice to send Israel away? I do not know Jehovah at all and, what is more, I am not going to send Israel away."
In the end, Jehovah did away with Pharoah the so called "Lord of the Crown" & "mighty god", thus proving that he indeed is the only true God.
