Pharaohs had absolute rule over their kingdom in both politics and religion. They were considered gods on Earth. Their were responsible for maintaining universal harmony. For this reason they owned all the land, made all the laws, and collected all the taxes. They also used force and warfare to accomplish any goal they deemed necessary outside of Egypt.
