Answer:

The reason why the pharaoh's had absolute power is because they were believed to be the son of Ra (the sun god), or the reincarnation of Horus (protector of the ruler of Egypt). You were also born into power you could not rise to power like every other role if you were a male priesthood would be passed down to you from your father.
