As the absolute monarch of slavery, Pharaoh held the military, political, judicial and religious power of the whole country. His will was the law and he was the supreme ruler of ancient Egypt. Pharaoh claimed to be the son of the sun god Amon and the agent and incarnation of God on the earth, which made his subjects worship him as a god.
Pharaoh stands at the top of the power pyramid, is the embodiment of God, and has absolute power. The worship of Pharaoh in ancient Egypt was almost crazy. The name of Pharaoh alone has irresistible magic, and officials are proud of kissing Pharaoh's feet.

After Pharaoh's death:
After Pharaoh died, his body was mummified and placed in a tomb inside the pyramid. The pyramids are the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs and the crystallization of ancient Egyptian wisdom. Most of the pyramids were built during the reign of the third and sixth dynasties of the ancient Egyptian kingdom (that is, 2800-2300 BC).
There are about 70 pyramids in Egypt, among which the pyramid of the fourth dynasty Pharaoh Khufu in Giza is the most magnificent. Tower height 1 46.5m, perimeter1km, covering an area of 52,900 square meters.
The tower consists of 2.3 million stones, each weighing 2.5 tons on average, of which the largest one weighs 15 tons. There is no adhesion between the stones, but they are tightly pressed together by the weight of the stones. After nearly 5000 years, the foundation of the tower is still very solid. The internal structure of pyramid of khufu is also quite complicated, just like a huge palace.
However, Thutmose I felt that most of his ancestors' graves were inevitably occupied by grave robbers, so he separated his grave from the funeral hall, which was unprecedented among Egyptian pharaohs. His cemetery is near the auditorium 1.6 km.
He ordered Inerney to dig a steep tunnel on the limestone wall as a grave under the hidden cliff at the west foot of Thebes Mountain, and put the remains (mummies) there. For the next 500 years, the pharaohs have been building their own cave tombs in this valley in this way.
Later, when the Greeks saw the long tunnel leading to the grave, they thought it was like a flute played by a shepherd boy, so they called this cave grave "flute cave".
