Pharaohs were the divine rulers of ancient Egypt who had absolute authority over the government, resources, and people. The position of Pharaoh was hereditary and passed down from father to son. As Pharaoh, one had responsibilities to manage the government by appointing officials and also defend and expand Egyptian lands through military campaigns. When Pharaohs died, they were mummified and buried in large underground pyramids to rule the afterlife as they did in life. Evidence like King Tut's intact tomb and artifacts prove that Pharaohs were real historical figures rather than myths. Some of the most famous Pharaohs included King Menes who united Egypt, the young King Tutankhamen
