Pharaohs represented god on earth
The ancient Egyptian ruler was considered to be a living god, so naturally he outranked the priesthood and everyone else.
The main Egyptian god associated with giving life to Earth and the pharaohs was Osiris. He was revered as the god of the afterlife, resurrection, and agriculture, symbolizing fertility and rebirth. Osiris's role in Egyptian mythology emphasized the cyclical nature of life and death, and he was often depicted as a benevolent ruler who provided sustenance and order to the land. His relationship with the pharaohs underscored their divine right to rule, as they were considered his earthly representatives.

The most important god in ancient Egyptian religion was Amun, later merged with the sun god Ra to become Amun-Ra. He was considered the king of the gods and a symbol of creation, fertility, and the pharaoh's divine right to rule. The pharaohs often associated themselves with Amun-Ra to legitimize their authority and connect their reign to divine will, ensuring their power was seen as ordained by the gods. Temples dedicated to Amun, particularly in Karnak, served as centers of worship and political power, reinforcing the pharaohs' status.
All Egyptian pharaohs considered themselves to be descended from gods as well as being gods themselves. Their parents were probably pharaohs, too.
"Taker of life" does not relate to any Egyptian god or goddess; there was not a god or goddess of death (that is, a god or goddess solely of death itself).

Horus was the Egyptian God of war, the sky, and protection. Historically, some rulers (Pharaohs) of Egyptian dynasties saw themselves as direct embodiments of Horus. Horus is known in the shape of a human with the head of a falcon. Throughout ancient history, his role and level of worship varied as well as the geographic area where he was worshiped.
