The Pharoah was like king or queen. They ruled Egypt. They were expected to

-be the religious leader of their country

-be the financial leader of their country

-be the war leader of their country

-keep food prices down

-keep alliances between Egypt and other countries, often through marriages

-keep the people happy

-keep the gods happy

-provide an heir

-keep out invaders

-make political and financial decisions for their country

-collect taxes

-speak at festivals

-build monuments

-get into heaven. The people believed that if the pharaoh didn't get in, they wouldn't either, because they believed that the pharaoh joined Ra to travel across the sky as the sun, so if the pharaoh didn't do this, the sun wouldn't rise.
