Egyptian Pharaohs
March 16th, 2011 | 
Author: Pharaoh is a title used to refer to the kings of godly status in ancient Egypt. The term originates from the Egyptian words Pr-Aa, which meaning “Great House”. Originally, a word for the royal palace, this term came into vogue to refer to the king.
The earliest certain instance of this is in a letter addressed to Thutmose III in the mid-18th dynasty (1539 – 1292 BC), the Egyptian New Kingdom, and by the 22nd dynasty (945 – 730 BC) this usage had been extended and was now used occasionally just as “His Majesty” was used in earlier periods. It was not the official title but used in letters to the monarch. Modern historians due to its use in the Bible, especially the Book of Exodus, frequently use it.
The official titles of the king are five separate names, each preceded by one of the following: Horus, Two Ladies, Golden Horus, King of Upper and Lower Egypt, and Son of Re. Egyptologists think that there are five names of the king: The Horus name, the nebty name, the golden Horus name, the Prenomen and the Nomen (given to the crown prince at birth). The other names were received at his coronation.
