Pharaoh’s power was established by the representatives of the First Dynasty. A pharaoh was introduced as a strong king who aimed at structuring Egyptian life. That person was a political and religious leader. Pharaohs gave orders and made people build pyramids as the places of the afterlife where people honored gods, and pharaohs became intercessors. Besides, pharaohs made laws, promoted taxes, and defended people against foreigners.
The records gathered from the offices of pharaohs helped to comprehend the importance of a gender issue in Ancient Egypt. Hatshepsut, Nefertiti, and Cleopatra were the most famous queens of Egypt, whose powers were compared with the power of male pharaohs. Hatshepsut ruled Egypt for about 21 years. To diminish the gender impact, Hatshepsut used the title of a king during her ruling instead of a queen. Nefertiti proved that her beauty would not prevent the spread of her power of the Egyptians. Cleopatra’s political maneuvering helped to become one of the best ancient leaders.
The power of the pharaoh was impressive and could change history. One of the examples of such power was the ruling of Akhenaton. His reforms introduced a new historical center, promoted Amon worship, and proclaimed Akhenaton as a god.
