For most of Egyptian history, the Pharoahs ruled -- officially at least -- as living gods, or at least as semi-divine beings who attained full divinity on their deaths. The pharoah was supposed to be the vital intermediary who represented humanity to the other gods while safeguarding ma'at, the eternal divine order, on earth.
