The pharaoh of ancient Egypt was considered both a divine ruler and a political leader, embodying the role of a god on earth. This unique combination allowed the pharaoh to legitimize political authority through religious beliefs, as the populace viewed the pharaoh as a mediator between the gods and the people. Temples were often central to governance, where religious rituals reinforced the pharaoh's power and societal order. By intertwining religious practices with state functions, the pharaoh maintained control and unified the nation under a shared belief system.
