Pharaohs

Amenophis III

Ask Amenophis:
  When did Pharaohs wear a blue crown?  
  What does the word "Pharaoh" mean?  
  Who was the first Pharaoh whose name we know?  

Amenophis says:

 
 
Pharaoh was considered a god on earth.

Pharaohs who were disliked by their successors, including Akhenaten and Hatshepsut, had their names and pictures chiseled out from their monuments so people would forget them.

Rameses I, the most powerful of all Pharaohs, had 50 sons.
