    Pharaohs in culture were believed to be semi-divine beings who represented Gods while they were on Earth. Chosen by the Gods, Pharaohs were given the right to rule.

Based off of Hammurabi’s Code and the “Epic of Gilgamesh”, we can concluded that many, if not all Mesopotamian rulers were harsh rulers.…
