The Pharaoh is chosen by the closest male descendant of the last Pharaoh, or if there is no-one in the family left to take the Pharaoh's place, a new Pharaoh is chosen by the good looking royal priests.

The next pharaoh was the oldest son of the pharaoh before him. If the old pharaoh had no sons, it would be the oldest daughter.

In order to become Pharaoh, you had to be the son/daughter of the reigning Pharaoh. When your father died, the oldest would take his place and began their reign.

How do egyptians choose royalty?

The first pharaoh Narmer declared himself pharaoh over Egypt. The next pharaoh would always be a man and would be of the pharaoh's bloodline. If the pharaoh died early, a male cousin,nephew,etc,would be the next pharaoh. If the only man related to the pharaoh was not approved, the pharaoh would pick a different person, not always of bloodline. Once, a man became a pharaoh just for digging out the Great Spinx. So it wouldn't always be of bloodline.
