The pharaohs were considered a living god because they were know to be the reincarnation of Horus, the god of the sky.
Know hahaha
the egyptians believed that the kings had absolute power and complete control over them
Priests can, as intermediaries, potentially offer protection and favours from the gods. But the gods were apparently capricious and, for reasons best known to themselves, not reliable. Kings can actually organise protection, favours and prosperity. While they continued to offer sacrifices to solicit favour from the gods, they took the sure bet with the kings.
The Shang Kings.
The first kingdom was the Old Kingdom. It lasted from 2700 BC. - 2200 BC. In this time period Pharaohs were regarded as gods and were worshipped. They were buried in huge tombs known as pyramids. The second kingdom was the Middle Kingdom. It lasted from 2100 BC - 1800 BC. This was known as Egypt's Golden Age because Egypt was flourishing. Pharaohs were supposed to be good rulers, however they were now buried in hidden tombs to prevent them from being robbed. The third kingdom was the New Kingdom. It lasted from 1500 BC - 1000 BC. Egypt expanded during this time, by expanding borders and becoming a world power. Pharaohs were the absolute rulers and were buried in the Valley of Kings.

Being wise and respecting the gods is what good living is about in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the phrase good living describes the fleeting chance that mortals may have for happiness. That happiness necessitates wise actions and words towards colleagues, gods and kings. Colleagues and kings must not be conflict with gods since the gods never leave offensive commissions or omissions unpunished.
In ancient times almost all kings were considered to be living gods.
Ancient Egyptians viewed their pharaohs as living gods. They were the personification of AMUN-RA the king of gods, and when they died they became true gods. Therefore these pharaohs weren't only regarded as the kings of Egypt but as divinity. Egyptians believed that their pharaoh bore full responsibility for the kingdom's well-being, the sun to rise, the rivers to overflow, and the crops to grow. It was the pharaoh's duty to promote truth and justice. He was worshiped and appreciated.
They believed that the gods chose their kings
