Because they believed in the gods. And if you said they were chosen by the gods, it was rude and disorderly to not believe them.

The Ancient Egyptians believed that their Pharaoh was the god Horus, son of Re, the sun god. When a pharaoh died he was believed to be united with the sun and then a new Horus ruled on earth.
