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.
