The theocracy of ancient Egypt was a system of governance where the Pharaoh was both the political leader and a divine figure, believed to be the intermediary between the gods and the people. This dual role allowed the Pharaoh to enforce religious practices, maintain cosmic order (ma'at), and ensure the welfare of the state. The religious beliefs were deeply intertwined with governance, as temples played significant roles in both spiritual and economic life. The theocratic system contributed to the stability and longevity of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Theocracy originated in ancient cultures, with one of the earliest examples being in ancient Egypt, where pharaohs were considered divine rulers and intermediaries between gods and people. Additionally, Mesopotamian city-states practiced forms of theocracy, with priests holding significant power and authority in governance. The concept was further developed in religious societies, such as ancient Israel, where leaders were believed to be appointed by God.
Ancient Egypt was a theocracy. The Pharaoh was both a king and a god in Egypt. Egypt was run by the clergy; priests were the only governmental officials. Egyptian citizens had practically no power over how their government was run, but accepted the Pharaoh's decisions because they believed in his divinity.
