If you were a pharaoh, then you would have to take care of the country. You were chief judge and ruler of all Egypt. You collected taxes and a share of all that is grown (wheat, grain etc.).
The people of Egypt also thought that you were the living form of Osiris, a god. So, you were worshiped. And, if your mighty empire was in need of it, you would go to war.
You would live in a grand palace with tons of guards and servants. You had slaves that built your temples and statues. You would have a boat to go sailing down the Nile. Pharaoh's also were in charge of making sure the sun rose every day and the Nile flooded every year.
If you were pharaoh, then you were considered you holy. You could basically do anything that you wanted to.
Besides that? You would sit on your throne and give orders to your servants. You would eat and drink.
If you were pharaoh, your life would be grand.
Hope this helped.
By the way, this isn't everything. This is just the pros! The cons are a whole other story!
