They believed that the Pharaoh was Osiris on earth. Osiris was the god of the underworld, only after his jealous brother Seth chopped him up and spread him throughout Egypt. This allowed all Egyptians to have a special connection to Osiris. Isis, Osiris' wife/sister bound him up (the first mummy) and put him back together, and that is why he is the god of the underworld, who weighs your heart against a feather, judging your ethics and deeds.
This is where mummification starts too.
The Pharaoh was the living representation of Osiris.

Why did they build tombs?
to show how much the egyptions treasured the person
Who conquered much of north Africa in the 690' s?
the Egyptions.
How did people relate with one another in ancient Egypt?
Ancient Equations treated woman with more respect than any other Ancient kingdom. They also treated men with respect but not as much as women did, but still respected them greatly. One thing that they had in common is that they received the same punishment and both men and women could be pharaoh.
Were pharaohs and gods the only people that can eat chocolate in Ancient Egypt?
Chocolate was not around as far as I know in Ancient Egypt. Chocolate is created by the Cocoa plant, which is only found in south and central America. Because we have not found any evidence of trade between Ancient Egypt and Ancient Meso-America, there isn't much of a chance that chocolate was ever eaten by ancient Egyptians. Thus, pharaohs weren't eating chocolate, so the answer to your question is no. Not because everyone there ate chocolate, but because nobody there ate chocolate.
What was one of the believes of the ancient Egyptians?
They believed in an afterlife much like their current ones, in which the pharaohs were again kings. To that end, the remains of the rulers were carefully preserved (mummified).

Why did the pharaohs want such big pyramids to be buried in?
Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs wanted such big Pyramids because it was a sign of their power. They wanted everyone to know what they could do. Pharaohs were recognized as Gods in Ancient Egypt. So when they had massive structures the pharaohs wanted them to last for eternity. When they built them they forced everyone to work on them. It was an honor to help build a pyramid. Not only was it forced but only the kings highest members of the family were able to bury the pharaoh. The Pharaohs were buried with gold and all the necessities needed to live in their after life. So pretty much because they can and it shows how powerful they are the more unique and the bigger the higher a pharaoh was believed to be.:)

Why did the people of this time mummify things?
Ancient Egyptions beleived very much so in the spirit life, and life after death, and they believe that without certain rituals being performed then a person would not be able to commence living in the next life.
Why is there not much information about the Black Pharaohs in our history books?
You should ask the editors of those books, really. Go to Wikipedia.org and type 'Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt" and you will get information on all the Nubian pharaohs and their deeds. But the rule of the black pharaohs lasted only some 75 years in all, which is a mere footnote in Egypt's thousands of years of ancient history.
In which country did the pharaohs rule?
Egypt. the word pharaoh actually comes from the Egyptian Per-ankh which, translated literally, means "great house," much the same way Americans use the term White House when referring to the president or government.
