The titles given to rulers of ancient Egypt, often associated with power and divinity, included Pharaoh and King. The term "Pharaoh" originally referred to the royal palace but later became synonymous with the monarchs themselves. These rulers were considered divine figures, believed to be intermediaries between the gods and the people. They played crucial roles in politics, religion, and society, overseeing monumental architecture such as pyramids and temples. The cultural legacy of the Pharaohs continues to draw heavy interest in the fields of archaeology and ancient history.
