What was special about the pharaohs?

Pharaohs, like most leaders, were related to the royal family, by blood or marriage. Any relation to female royalty also had the right to rule. But Pharaohs were not just political leaders, they were religious leaders too.Initially, the rulers were considered the sons of a cow deity, Bat and eventually Hathor and they occupied her throne to rule the country and officiate in religious rites. Later they were believed to be reincarnation of Horus in life, and Osiris in death. Once the cult of Isis and Osiris developed, the pharaoh was seen as a bridge between Osiris and the dead. There is some evidence that for a short while, the pharaohs were used as religious sacrifices.
