As the gods rule the world the Pharaoh rules Egypt and each of us rules ourselves? Each is a miniature version of its predecessor.
There is also this idea of Pharaoh as mitzvah. By doing right things and being “correct” the pharaoh makes the world run as it should. When the pharaoh does not do the things that should be done it fucks up the whole Tao Te Ching of the universe.
