Why does a pharaoh never let his hair be seen?

A pharaoh never let his hair be seen as it was a symbol of divine authority and power. By wearing a headdress or a wig, the pharaoh maintained a distinction between himself and ordinary people, emphasizing his status as a god-king. Additionally, covering the hair helped to protect the pharaoh’s identity and maintain the mystique surrounding his divine role in society.


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.


What are the pharaohs considered to be?

In general, apart from the ruler of the Two Lands (North and South Egypt), the Pharaoh was the manifestation of Horus. When the Pharaoh died, he became Osiris (the father of Horus), and the new Pharaoh became Horus. One of the titles of Horus was 'the High, the Far-off', representing the discernment of a hawk flying high above the ground, yet observing the smallest movement (a useful characteristic for a ruler).


Why were pharaohs treated like gods?

Pharaohs were treated like gods in ancient Egypt due to their role as intermediaries between the divine and human realms. They were believed to embody the gods on Earth, particularly the sun god Ra, and their authority was seen as divinely ordained. This divine status justified their absolute power and control over the people, and it was reinforced through religious rituals, monumental architecture, and elaborate burial practices intended to ensure their safe passage to the afterlife. Such veneration solidified social order and cultural cohesion in Egyptian society.

What was the major reason that Egyptians believed pharaohs had this power?

The major reason why Egyptians believed pharaohs had power was because they were seen as divine beings. Pharaohs were believed to be the intermediaries between the gods and the people, and their authority was believed to be bestowed upon them by the gods themselves. This divine status gave the pharaohs immense political and religious power in Egyptian society.
