Pharaohs
As ancient Egyptian rulers, pharaohs were both the heads of state and the religious leaders of their people. The word “pharaoh” means “Great House,” a reference to the palace where the pharaoh resides. While early Egyptian rulers were called “kings,” over time, the name “pharaoh” stuck.
Royal Emblems
The various royal emblems of the Ancient Egyptians often developed from fairly humble beginnings, but they became a powerful tool for expressing the duties and powers of the pharaoh, both graphically and symbolically.
