Simple answer: Demonic Energy.

Anytime a woman absorbs a sufficient amount of Demonic Energy, she loses her humanity and becomes a monster. And with all those Anubis, Khepri, Sphinx and Mummies running about, their temples are practically flooded in Demonic Energy which means they're flooded in Demonic Energy.

I assume that their original great power as a human, coupled with the sheer amount of Demonic Energy they absorbed during their torpor (fancy word for their long nap in the sarcophagus), is what ultimately transformed them into the Pharaohs of the modern MGE universe as opposed to just another Khepri or Anubis.

EDIT: Note that all of this is theory-craft. None of the second paragraph has actually come from KC's mouth, pen or keyboard. I have no way to know that my ideas are correct. But they fit with the logical flow of the world.
