Political power in the ancient world (and even to a large extent in the modern world) resulted from the naked exercise of force. If the Pharaoh claims ownership of all the land in Egypt, and he has an army which follows his orders, which will kill anybody who does not agree with his ownership claims, then he is the owner.
