PHARAOH
The most powerful person in ancient Egypt
Political and religious leader of the
Egyptian people
Holding the titles:
“Lord of the Two Lands”
“High Priest of Every Temple”
AS ‘LORD OF THE TWO LANDS’
The pharaoh was the ruler of Upper and
Lower Egypt.
Owned all of the land
Made laws
Collected taxes
Defended Egypt against foreigners
Many pharaohs went to war when their
land was threatened or when they wanted to
control foreign lands.
If the pharoah won the battle, the
conquered people had to recognize the
Egyptian pharoah as their ruler and offer
him finest and most valuable goods from
their land.
PHARAOH
Half man, Half God
Owned all of Egypt; all
animals, mines, people, and
even the Nile River.
GOVERNMENT OF EGYPT
The Arab Republic of Egypt is governed under
the 1971 constitution.
Islam is the state religion, and Islamic
jurisprudence is the basis of Egyptian law
The constitution provides for a strong presidency
and a unicameral, or one-house, legislature—the
People's Assembly.
Members are elected for five-year
terms by direct universal suffrage. The
president has extensive executive powers.
He is nominated by at least one third of
the members of the People's Assembly,
approved by at least two thirds of them,
and elected by popular referendum.
