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.
