In ancient times, a single individual was chosen as intermediary between the gods and mortal man. This king was anointed as prophet, priest, and ruler by the gods themselves. When the war of the gods began, each deity sought the Pharaoh's support, but in his divinely inspired wisdom, the Pharaoh vowed to balance the needs of the gods with the political and social needs of mankind. The battle in heaven shall not overflow into a civil war on earth, so long as the Pharaoh still draws breath.
