!!Egypt!! It really fascinates me!! I just love to read anything about it and watch anything based upon it!!In the latest National Geographic magazine the main article features "Black Pharaohs" (http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/hubs/latest-features.html). Pharaoh, according to Wikipedia is Egyptian word for king, but for a descriptive definition kindly check the Wikipedia!!
I really admire Egyptians, their idea about immortality, their ways of saying a final goodbye to their Kings and Queens, it really amazes me!!
This bottle of perfume e.g. was found in one of the cemeteries as a gift to one of its King and this amazingly carved pendent (above) designed for a goddess are clearly evident of their values and rich and different culture!!
The first king of Egypt mentioned by name in the Bible is Shishaq, the title pharaoh is prefixed to his name in the Great Dakhla stela—as in Pharaoh Shoshenq—which dates to Year 5 of his reign.
Although over the world wide net there are several ways Pharaohs have been defined.
