Pharaohs were not considered Gods but were considered representatives of the God, Horus. Oaths were sworn both to the Gods as well as Pharaoh, to remind the people that they relied as much on the power of a living king as they did on a God and both could avenge perjury.

Pharaohs thought they were gods because power, gold and treasures probably got to their heads and they thought they were better than every one and they were the most powerful people so they become powerful gods too.

Just as with early kings and queens blessed by the pope and given the "divine right" to rule; so the Egyptian people believed that the Pharaoh was not only given the divine birthright to rule, but that he was the living Horus on Earth.
