En el antiguo Egipto se rendía culto a cientos de dioses y existía la creencia que esas deidades tenían algún vínculo con el faraón y que antes de esa figura política el Imperio había sido gobernado por los dioses. Además de esta dimensión divina, el faraón también era percibido y representado como un gran guerrero y estratega militar con la doble misión de mantener la paz interior y de expandir las fronteras
En la serie de monumentos y estatuas puede observarse cómo los faraones fueron construyendo sus identidades para proyectar una imagen idealizada de sí mismos, ya fuera como guerreros que protegían Egipto contra sus enemigos, o como adoradores fervientes de los dioses, intermediarios entre ellos y el resto de la humanidad.

The series of monuments and statues shows how the pharaohs built their identities to project an idealized image of themselves, either as warriors who protected Egypt against its enemies, or as fervent worshippers of the gods, intermediaries between them and the rest of humanity.
