Information on ancient pharoahs

Ancient pharaohs were divided according to dynasties. They spent the majority of life preparing for death. They had multiple wives. They were also cruel leaders.

All I know is that they were cruel leaders. But some offered food for work. And all pharaohs did not get buried in pyramids some ordered for temples to be built so that they would be placed in a tomb that was better than the best. Some even drew out the plans to the temples & tombs.
