What Do I Have To Do To Be A Good Pharaoh?
To be a good Pharaoh, it is important that you make wise decisions that please the men and women in your kingdom. As an descendant of the sun god Ra with the spirit of the god Horus, the Pharaoh is expected to make sure that the Nile River floods when required, that there is enough food to eat, that the gods look kindly on the people and that Egypt's army can defend the kingdom against enemies. If the Pharaoh is unpopular, upon their death some of their temples are torn down and names removed from inscriptions.
