A theocracy
In a theocracy, the Pharaoh served as both a political leader and a divine figure, embodying the connection between the gods and the people. He was believed to be a living god, responsible for maintaining ma'at, or cosmic order, which included administering justice, ensuring agricultural fertility, and leading religious rituals. The Pharaoh's authority was seen as divinely sanctioned, legitimizing his rule and reinforcing the social and religious hierarchy within ancient Egyptian society. This dual role helped to unify the state under a common religious framework, guiding both governance and cultural identity.

Egypt had many gods, the pharaoh was though to be a god as well.
A theocracy can be either limited or unlimited, although it tends to be unlimited.A limited government is one in where there are internal checks and balances, making all people subject to the rule of law. In a theocracy like the modern-day Islamic Republic of Iran, the theocracy is limited since any of the Ayatollahs can be taken down by the others for insubordination. By contrast, the Ancient Egyptian Pharaonic State, which was also a theocracy, was an unlimited state since the Pharaoh had unchecked power.
There is no antonym for theocracy.
