Pharaohs

Amenophis III

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

Amenophis says:

 
 
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.

Pharaoh was also known as the <i>Lord of the Two Lands</i>, since he was king over both Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt.

Pharaoh was considered a god on earth.
