the pharaohs were considered to be gods in human form, that's why when they were buried they were buried the way they were so they would be prepared to enter into the afterlife, and be a god in heaven or whatever they called it. It helped keep the people in check as they wouldn't want to anger the gods and have their wrath come down on them. Granted, there were still problems and sometimes the pharaohs were overthrown or killed by family or someone who was power hungry or whatever, and Egypt would fall into a state of chaos and disarray but the pharaohs would always bring order to the land again. though maybe it took a different pharaoh to do it then the one who caused the chaos and whatnot.
