The answer

The pharaohs' ability to mummify the dead does not validate their beliefs. Allah granted them worldly knowledge and honor on Earth, just like previous nations whom Allah destroyed due to their tyranny, despite their strength and knowledge. These blessings did not prevent Allah's punishment from reaching them; rather, He destroyed them to serve as a lesson.
