Ancient Egypt

PHARAOH

Pharaoh: translation

A king of Egypt. The term (used only from the first millenium BC) was derived from the two hieroglyphic words 'Per' ('house') and 'aa' ('great'); it meant the 'Great House' (i.e., the king's residence) and came to be applied also to the king's person. Even the *Ptolemies and *Romans adopted the title, which gave them wide-ranging powers when they ruled Egypt.
