Pharaohs in ancient Egypt were believed to be the earthly embodiment of the god Horus or the sun god Ra, and were seen as intermediaries between the gods and the people. Their rule was considered divine and essential for maintaining order and balance in the universe. Pharaohs were thus worshipped and revered as divine rulers during their lifetime and in death.
