Answer:b

Explanation:

As a divine ruler, the pharaoh was the preserver of the god-given order, called maat. He owned a large portion of Egypt's land and directed its use, was responsible for his people's economic and spiritual welfare, and dispensed justice to his subjects. His will was supreme, and he governed by royal decree. As 'Lord of the Two Lands' the pharaoh was the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt. He owned all of the land, made laws, collected taxes, and defended Egypt against foreigners. As 'High Priest of Every Temple', the pharaoh represented the gods on Earth. He performed rituals and built temples to honour the gods

Baraq

The characteristic of Egyptian kings, known as pharaohs is "The pharaoh was seen as a human being who could communicate with the gods but was not himself considered divine."

  • This is because, in ancient Egypt, the Egyptians see Pharaoh as the intercessor between the gods and humans.
  • They believe that when a Pharaoh died he goes to heaven to join Osiris, and then transfer his power to the new Pharaoh.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option B "The pharaoh was seen as a human being who could communicate with the gods but was not himself considered divine."
