Five of Egypt’s Most Famous Pharaohs

Egypt is an ancient civilization with a very long history. The ancient Egyptian civilization was formed 6,000 years ago and ended in 30 BC when Rome conquered Egypt. But the things left by this ancient civilization are very precious and mysterious. When it comes to ancient Egypt, the pharaohs of Egypt have to be mentioned.

“Pharaoh” is the honorific title of the king of ancient Egypt. It is a mysterious name, which means big house. The word pharaoh has been used since Thutmose III, the eighteenth dynasty of the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt. The previous Egyptian kings were not called pharaohs in the sense of the word, but the world generally refers to the kings of ancient Egypt as pharaohs.

Menis

Menes was the founding king of the first dynasty of Egypt. He unified Egypt more than 5,100 years ago and opened the era of pharaoh rule. However, whether the king Menes really existed is still controversial. Some believe that it really existed, and some say it was imagined by the Egyptians. However, archaeologists have discovered a relic called the Narmer Palette in the Middle East, and experts have confirmed that this may be the relic of Menes.

Ramses II

This is the pharaoh of the 19th dynasty of ancient Egypt. This is the most famous pharaoh in the history of Egypt. He not only carried out a series of expeditions, but also left a lot of civil engineering construction. His ancient tomb was discovered in 1995, but when it was discovered, the ancient tomb had been robbed long ago, and there were very few valuable things left in the tomb. It can be said that Ramses II is the most famous pharaoh in Egyptian history. During his reign, Egypt was at its peak, but since then, ancient Egypt has declined.

Tutankhamun

This ancient Egyptian pharaoh did not have a lot of status in history, and because he died early at the age of 19, he did not leave any political measures. Because when he died, his pyramid was not built, so he could only be buried in a small place. It is precisely because of this that his ancient tomb was well preserved.

During the colonial era, his tomb was discovered by Western archaeologists. Since then, Tutankhamun has become a representative of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, because a lot of rare treasures were unearthed in his tomb, and even the coffin was made of more than 200 catties of gold. What’s weird is that regarding his “Pharaoh’s Curse”, it is rumored that the archaeologists who excavated his tomb all died without any warning. The Pharaoh’s curse is becoming more and more mysterious.

Thutmose III

This pharaoh was more than 3,500 years ago, and he was the most martial artist in ancient Egypt. He launched 15 wars in his life, and each time he brought surprises to Egypt. His reign was the largest period in Egyptian history. But in the understanding of the Egyptians, this is a pharaoh who is arrogant and indulgent, and scholars in many Western countries call him “Napoleon of ancient Egypt”.

Cleopatra VII

This is the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt, also known as Cleopatra. It is said that she is outstanding in talent and appearance, clever and witty, and good at tricks. She used sex and other methods to charm many people who invaded Egypt, especially when she conquered Anthony by sex and kept his status as pharaoh for 12 years. Although she is the last pharaoh, she is famous for her death. It is said that she let a poisonous snake bite herself to end her life and Egypt’s life at the same time.
