Theocracy originated in ancient civilizations, particularly in Mesopotamia around 3000 BCE, where rulers were often seen as divine or chosen by the gods. This concept was prominent in early societies like ancient Egypt, where pharaohs were considered gods on earth. The term itself derives from the Greek words "theos" (god) and "kratos" (rule), and it reflects the intertwining of religion and governance in these early cultures.
