In the temples they were adorned with multiple reliefs where the reigning pharaoh was battling against Asian or Nubian enemies.They also built large palaces for the comfort of the pharaoh, but earthly life was less important than the afterlife, so they were not made of stone and they have not had the same duration as tombs and temples.
Pharaohs were considered almost divine beings during the first dynasties and were identified with the god Horus. From Dynasty V they were also (sons of the god Ra). They were not normally deified in life. It was after his death that the pharaoh merged with the deity Osiris and acquired immortality and a divine category, being then venerated as another god in the temples.
