Egyptian pharaohs represented a form of government known as a theocracy, where the political leader is also a religious figure. In this system, the pharaoh was considered a divine ruler, believed to be a god on earth who maintained order and harmony (Maat) in society. This dual role allowed the pharaoh to wield significant power over both the governance of the state and the spiritual life of the people, reinforcing their authority and legitimacy.
In Egyptian society, government and religion have historically been deeply intertwined. The pharaohs were seen as both political and religious leaders, believed to be gods or divine intermediaries.

The government was essentially an extension of religious authority, with laws and policies often influenced by religious beliefs and practices.
