Throughout the history of the Chinese people and culture, the dynasties had what was called the Mandate of Heaven, which effectively was a type of divine right. In these dynasties, the Mandate of Heaven was lost if the Yellow or the Yangxi River flooded. Another civilization that used the divine right was the Egyptian civilization, where the pharaoh was considered god's messenger on earth and when he died became a god. Finally, the British monarchs used the divine right of God as a proof that they were the chosen leaders of the British Empire.
