Famous Pharaohs

HI MY NAME IS HERALD,AND I'M GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT FAMOUS PHARAOHS. I READ THAT PHARAOHS OWNED ALL OF EGYPT. THE PHARAOHS LIFE WAS DEDICATED TO WATCHING OVER AND PROTECTING HIS KINGDOM. THIS WAS AN ENORMOUS JOB. THE PHARAOH CHOSE ONE OF THE TWO VIZIERS, OR PRIME MINISTERS,TO HELP HIM. THE KING WAS NOT ONLY THE MOST POWERFUL AND IMPORTANT MAN IN EGYPT, HE WAS THOUGHT TO BE A GOD. HE WAS KNOWN AS THE PHARAOH. A WORD WHICH IS DERIVED FROM A RESPECTFUL WAY OF REFERRING TO THE KING BY DESCRIBING HIM AS THE "GREAT HOUSE"; PERHAPS MEANING THE PLACE WHERE HE LIVED. THE QUEEN OF EGYPT WAS ALSO THOUGHT OF AS A GODDESS, BUT WAS USUALLY GIVEN THE TITLE OF "GREAT ROYAL WIFE";ONLY RARELY DID WOMEN RULE EGYPT IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. I ALSO READ THAT THERE WAS AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF TEACHING A PRINCE TO BECOME A PHARAOH. THIS INCLUDED TRAINING HIM TO BE AN EXPERT SPORTSMAN AND POTENTIAL WAR LEADER. ALSO PHARAOHS WOULD ADOPT HEIRS AS CO-REGENTS, TO ENABLE A SMOOTH TAKEOVER WHEN THE KING DIED. SOMETIMES PRINCES HAD TO WAIT A LONG TIME. ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS I READ WAS THAT IT IS REMARKABLE THAT IN EGYPT'S LONG HISTORY, THERE ARE ONLY A FEW REFERENCES TO PHARAOHS BEING ASSASSINATED. THE ASSASSINATIONS WERE USUALLY AS A RESULT OF A PLOT IN THE COURT TO PUT A PRINCE WHO WAS NOT THE TRUE HEIR ONTO THE THRONE. SO THIS IS ALL I LEARNED ABOUT THE FAMOUS PHARAOHS.
