the pharaoh

Because he was credited with divine power himself,[Note 1] the pharaoh was regarded as Egypt's representative to the gods and its most important upholder of maat.[6] Thus, it was theoretically his duty to perform the temple rites. While it is uncertain how often he actually participated in ceremonies, the existence of temples across Egypt made it impossible for him to do so in all cases, and most of the time these duties were delegated to priests. The pharaoh was nevertheless obligated to maintain, provide for, and expand the temples throughout his realm.[7]
