(Redirected from Pharaohs of Egypt)
Pharaoh (/ËfÉÉroÊ/, US also/Ëfeɪ.roÊ/;[1]Coptic: ⲡⲣÌ
â²£â²PÇrro) is the common title of the monarchs of ancient Egypt from the First Dynasty (c. 3150 BCE) until the annexation of Egypt by the Roman Empire in 30 BCE,[2] although the actual term 'Pharaoh' was not used contemporaneously for a ruler until Merneptah, c. 1200 BCE. In the early dynasty, ancient Egyptian kings used to have up to three titles, the Horus, the Sedge and Bee (nswt-bjtj) name, and the Two Ladies (nbtj) name. The Golden Horus and nomen and prenomen titles were later added.
In Egyptian society, religion was central to everyday life. One of the roles of the pharaoh was as an intermediary between the gods and the people. The pharaoh thus deputised for the gods; his role was both as civil and religious administrator. He owned all of the land in Egypt, enacted laws, collected taxes, and defended Egypt from invaders as the commander-in-chief of the army.[3] Religiously, the pharaoh officiated over religious ceremonies and chose the sites of new temples. He was responsible for maintaining Maat (mê£ê¥t), or cosmic order, balance, and justice, and part of this included going to war when necessary to defend the country or attacking others when it was believed that this would contribute to Maat, such as to obtain resources.[4]
During the early days prior to the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, the Deshret or the 'Red Crown', was a representation of the kingdom of Lower Egypt, while the Hedjet, the 'White Crown', was worn by the kings of the kingdom of Upper Egypt. After the unification of both kingdoms into one united Egypt, the Pschent, the combination of both the red and white crowns was the official crown of kings. With time new headdresses were introduced during different dynasties like the Khat, Nemes, Atef, Hemhem crown, and Khepresh. At times, it was depicted that a combination of these headdresses or crowns would be worn together.
Etymology
The word pharaoh ultimately derives from the Egyptian compound pr ê¥ê£, */ËpaɾuwËÊaÊ/ 'great house', written with the two biliteral hieroglyphspr 'house' and ê¥ê£ 'column', here meaning 'great' or 'high'. It was used only in larger phrases such as smr pr-ê¥ê£ 'Courtier of the High House', with specific reference to the buildings of the court or palace.[5] From the Twelfth Dynasty onward, the word appears in a wish formula 'Great House, May it Live, Prosper, and be in Health', but again only with reference to the royal palace and not the person.
Sometime during the era of the New Kingdom, Second Intermediate Period, pharaoh became the form of address for a person who was king. The earliest confirmed instance where pr ê¥ê£ is used specifically to address the ruler is in a letter to Akhenaten (reigned c. 1353â1336 BCE) which is addressed to 'Great House, L, W, H, the Lord'.[6][7] However, there is a possibility that the title pr ê¥ê£ was applied to Thutmose III (c. 1479â1425 BCE), depending on whether an inscription on the Temple of Armant can be confirmed to refer to that king.[8] During the Eighteenth Dynasty (16th to 14th centuries BCE) the title pharaoh was employed as a reverential designation of the ruler. About the late Twenty-first Dynasty (10th century BCE), however, instead of being used alone as before, it began to be added to the other titles before the ruler's name, and from the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty (eighth to seventh centuries BCE) it was, at least in ordinary usage, the only epithet prefixed to the royal appellative.[9]
From the nineteenth dynasty onward pr-ê¥ê£ on its own was used as regularly as ḥm, 'Majesty'.[10][note 1] The term, therefore, evolved from a word specifically referring to a building to a respectful designation for the ruler, particularly by the Twenty-Second Dynasty and Twenty-third Dynasty.[citation needed]
For instance, the first dated appearance of the title pharaoh being attached to a ruler's name occurs in Year 17 of Siamun on a fragment from the Karnak Priestly Annals. Here, an induction of an individual to the Amun priesthood is dated specifically to the reign of Pharaoh Siamun.[11] This new practice was continued under his successor Psusennes II and the Twenty-second Dynasty kings. For instance, the Large Dakhla stela is specifically dated to Year 5 of king 'Pharaoh Shoshenq, beloved of Amun', whom all Egyptologists concur was Shoshenq Iâthe founder of the Twenty-second Dynastyâincluding Alan Gardiner in his original 1933 publication of this stela.[12] Shoshenq I was the second successor of Siamun. Meanwhile, the old custom of referring to the sovereign simply as pr-ˤ3 continued in traditional Egyptian narratives.[citation needed]
By this time, the Late Egyptian word is reconstructed to have been pronounced *[parÊoÊ] whence Herodotus derived the name of one of the Egyptian kings, KoinÄ Greek: ΦεÏÏν.[13] In the Hebrew Bible, the title also occurs as Hebrew: פרע×â [parÊoËh];[14] from that, in the Septuagint, KoinÄ Greek: ÏαÏαÏ, romanized: pharaÅ, and then in Late LatinpharaÅ, both -n stem nouns. The Qur'an likewise spells it Arabic: ÙرعÙÙâ firÊ¿awn with n (here, always referring to the one evil king in the Book of Exodus story, by contrast to the good king Aziz in surah Yusuf's story). The Arabic combines the original ayin from Egyptian along with the -n ending from Greek.
In English, it was at first spelled 'Pharao', but the translators of the King James Bible revived 'Pharaoh' with 'h' from the Hebrew. Meanwhile, in Egypt itself, *[par-ÊoÊ] evolved into Sahidic CopticⲡⲣÌ
â²£â²pÉrro and then Érro by mistaking p- as the definite article 'the' (from ancient Egyptian pê£).[15]
Other notable epithets are nswt, translated to 'king'; jty for 'monarch or sovereign'; nb for 'lord';[10][note 2] and ḥqê£ for 'ruler'.
List of PharaohsRegaliaScepters and staves
Beaded scepter of Khasekhemwy (Museum of Fine Arts in Boston).
Sceptres and staves were a general sign of authority in ancient Egypt.[16] One of the earliest royal scepters was discovered in the tomb of Khasekhemwy in Abydos.[16] Kings were also known to carry a staff, and Pharaoh Anedjib is shown on stone vessels carrying a so-called mks-staff.[17] The scepter with the longest history seems to be the heqa-sceptre, sometimes described as the shepherd's crook.[18] The earliest examples of this piece of regalia dates to prehistoric Egypt. A scepter was found in a tomb at Abydos that dates to Naqada III.

Another scepter associated with the king is the was-sceptre.[18] This is a long staff mounted with an animal head. The earliest known depictions of the was-scepter date to the First Dynasty. The was-scepter is shown in the hands of both kings and deities.
The flail later was closely related to the heqa-scepter (the crook and flail), but in early representations the king was also depicted solely with the flail, as shown in a late pre-dynastic knife handle which is now in the Metropolitan museum, and on the Narmer Macehead.[19]
The Uraeus
The earliest evidence known of the Uraeusâa rearing cobraâis from the reign of Den from the First Dynasty. The cobra supposedly protected the pharaoh by spitting fire at its enemies.[20]
Crowns and headdresses
Narmer wearing the white crown
Narmer wearing the red crown
Deshret
The red crown of Lower Egypt, the Deshret crown, dates back to pre-dynastic times and symbolised chief ruler. A red crown has been found on a pottery shard from Naqada, and later, Narmer is shown wearing the red crown on both the Narmer Macehead and the Narmer Palette.
Hedjet
The white crown of Upper Egypt, the Hedjet, was worn in the Predynastic Period by Scorpion II, and, later, by Narmer.
Pschent
This is the combination of the Deshret and Hedjet crowns into a double crown, called the Pschent crown. It is first documented in the middle of the first dynasty. The earliest depiction may date to the reign of Djet, and is otherwise surely attested during the reign of Den.[21]
Khat
Den
The khat headdress consists of a kind of 'kerchief' whose end is tied similarly to a ponytail. The earliest depictions of the khat headdress comes from the reign of Den, but is not found again until the reign of Djoser.
Nemes
The Nemes headdress dates from the time of Djoser. It is the most common type of crown that has been depicted throughout Pharaonic Egypt. Any other type of crown, apart from the Khat headdress, has been commonly depicted on top of the Nemes. The statue from his Serdab in Saqqara shows the king wearing the nemes headdress.[21]

Atef
Osiris is shown to wear the Atef crown, which is an elaborate Hedjet with feathers and disks. Depictions of Pharaohs wearing the Atef crown originate from the Old Kingdom.
Hemhem
The Hemhem crown is usually depicted on top of Nemes, Pschent, or Deshret crowns. It is an ornate triple Atef with corkscrew sheep horns and usually two uraei. The usage (depiction) of this crown begins during the Early 18th dynasty of Egypt.
Khepresh
Also called the blue crown, the Khepresh crown has been depicted in art since the New Kingdom. It is often depicted being worn in battle, but it was also frequently worn during ceremonies. It used to be called a war crown by many, but modern historians refrain from defining it thus.
Pharaoh Download Completo PortuguesePhysical evidence
Egyptologist Bob Brier has noted that despite their widespread depiction in royal portraits, no ancient Egyptian crown has ever been discovered. Tutankhamun's tomb, discovered largely intact, did contain such regalia as his crook and flail, but no crown was found among the funerary equipment. Diadems have been discovered.[22]
It is presumed that crowns would have been believed to have magical properties. Brier's speculation is that crowns were religious or state items, so a dead pharaoh likely could not retain a crown as a personal possession. The crowns may have been passed along to the successor.[23]
Titles
During the early dynastic period kings had three titles. The Horus name is the oldest and dates to the late pre-dynastic period. The Nesu Bity name was added during the first dynasty. The Nebty name was first introduced toward the end of the first dynasty.[21] The Golden falcon (bik-nbw) name is not well understood. The prenomen and nomen were introduced later and are traditionally enclosed in a cartouche.[24] By the Middle Kingdom, the official titulary of the ruler consisted of five names; Horus, nebty, golden Horus, nomen, and prenomen[25] for some rulers, only one or two of them may be known.
Nesu Bity name![]()
The Nesu Bity name, also known as Prenomen, was one of the new developments from the reign of Den. The name would follow the glyphs for the 'Sedge and the Bee'. The title is usually translated as king of Upper and Lower Egypt. The nsw bity name may have been the birth name of the king. It was often the name by which kings were recorded in the later annals and king lists.[21]
Horus name
The Horus name was adopted by the king, when taking the throne. The name was written within a square frame representing the palace, named a serekh. The earliest known example of a serekh dates to the reign of king Ka, before the first dynasty.[26] The Horus name of several early kings expresses a relationship with Horus. Aha refers to 'Horus the fighter', Djer refers to 'Horus the strong', etc. Later kings express ideals of kingship in their Horus names. Khasekhemwy refers to 'Horus: the two powers are at peace', while Nebra refers to 'Horus, Lord of the Sun'.[21]
Nebty name
The earliest example of a nebty name comes from the reign of king Aha from the first dynasty. The title links the king with the goddesses of Upper and Lower Egypt Nekhbet and Wadjet.[21][24] The title is preceded by the vulture (Nekhbet) and the cobra (Wadjet) standing on a basket (the neb sign).[21]
Golden Horus
The Golden Horus or Golden Falcon name was preceded by a falcon on a gold or nbw sign. The title may have represented the divine status of the king. The Horus associated with gold may be referring to the idea that the bodies of the deities were made of gold and the pyramids and obelisks are representations of (golden) sun-rays. The gold sign may also be a reference to Nubt, the city of Set. This would suggest that the iconography represents Horus conquering Set.[21]
Nomen and prenomen
The prenomen and nomen were contained in a cartouche. The prenomen often followed the King of Upper and Lower Egypt (nsw bity) or Lord of the Two Lands (nebtawy) title. The prenomen often incorporated the name of Re. The nomen often followed the title Son of Re (sa-ra) or the title Lord of Appearances (neb-kha).[24]

Strategy gamers who get a kick out of King Tut will find much to love in this ancient Egyptian adventure, which takes plenty of cues from competing titles. You are the governor of a city in the land of the pharaohs, set with the task of feeding your people and striking deals with other towns to bring in the goods your town requires. Fans of Caesar III will find Pharaoh's look and feel familiar, and veterans of SimCity too will be pleased to see the range of actions available far exceeds that modern-day adventure. Action is goal oriented, rather than combat oriented--you don't build your city with abandon, but follow directions to complete a certain task. Considering Pharoah was designed in 1999, its graphics are still up to snuff--most views are from a bird's-eye vantage point, so you can survey your domain. Overall, this is a standard but solid civilization building game that should please fans of ancient history.
What do you need to know about free software?
Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile -- Official Pharaoh Expansion is more than an add-on of new scenarios and campaigns. The game includes enhancements to its parent title Pharaoh in the areas of gameplay, shortcut keys, and scope. Installation of the full commercial version of Pharaoh is required in order to utilize the expansion pack.
Cleopatra VII reigned in Egypt at the end of the Ptolemaic period and the expansion covers not only her time in power but also the reigns of Tutankhaman and Ramses II. There are four new campaigns encompassing 15 missions that span history from the late New Kingdom era to Cleopatra's rule. Also, with this upgrade, you can now play the missions included in Pharaoh in any order without completing the campaign.
Enhancements to the original game include the addition of the zoo to the missions Bubastis and Hetepsenusret (building at least one is necessary to attain the required Culture Rating), faster pyramid construction and pop-up message control. Four major plagues (River of Blood, Plague of Frogs, Hailstorm and Plague of Locusts) and new monument types have also been added.
New enemies introduced in Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile -- Official Pharaoh Expansion include Assyrians, Persians, Phoenicians and Romans (possible allies at times) as well as tomb robbers. Other added features are new beasts (e.g., scorpions, asps, roaming lions), commodities (henna, oil, lamps, paint and white marble), and industries (Paint Maker, Lamp Maker, Artisan's Guild and Henna Farm).
Seven of the missions in Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile are timed and consist of two types: survival (4) and time limit (3). In the former, at the end of a given time limit (assuming your city still exists), you must meet or exceed pre-set ratings in various areas. In the latter, victory is claimed immediately upon meeting or exceeding all required ratings. Another new feature is the allowance to carry over from mission to mission (within campaigns only) certain properties including family savings, (some) troops and monuments.
Whether constructing tombs in the Valley of the Kings or building the Lighthouse of Alexandria, battling Octavian or plagues, or simply beautifying and establishing a solid kingdom, Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile -- Official Pharaoh Expansion offers you the chance to relive and recreate history in the land of the Pharaohs.

Caesar III proved that ancient-days God-Sim's could be very interesting, even in the age of super-accelerated 3D FPS games. Thanks to that Impression Games pearl, millions of sim fans were able to go back in time to ancient Rome and re-live its glory, if only for a few days. The Impression Games decided to widen their opus to other great civilizations. Such is the charm and fun of the simulation, placed in the time of ancient Egypt. The sim was called Pharaoh, and it was met with fairly positive critique when it was released in October last year. The official add-on to Pharaoh, Cleopatra, is none-the-worse than the original when it comes to quality of design, and maybe even better taking in consideration the gameplay value of the additional missions.
Due to its competitive release date, Pharaoh was dwarfed by some of the bigger Christmas hits. Unfortunately, some of the game's novelties were overshadowed because of it. The biggest novelty Pharaoh introduced, in regard to Caesar III, was the excellent historical background. Let me remind those that played it, but forgot what's it like to be Pharaoh, ruling the hot sands by the Nile and all, of the plot --- It is taking place through three actual periods of the Egyptian history: Old, Middle and New Kingdom. Those periods were divided into sub-periods, so history connoisseurs had a full treat. In compliance with history, the player starts off as a leader of a nomad tribe, and gradually climbs up the social ladder, to end up as the Supreme Ruler of Egypt-the Pharaoh. After choosing a set of parameters and modes from the main menu, the player controls an Egyptian settlement. Similar to any other God-Sim, the key to progress is in the finances. The player starts off with comforting basic needs of the population (food, water, cookies..), and goes on to brew beer and manufacture extravagant goods, such as jewelry, to meet the needs of upper classes of the society. In order for the citizens to supply themselves with everything necessary, you have to have a healthy industry that will export more than you import. If there is a deficit, you will have to cover it with taxes. Jewelry makes most lucrative export (because its hard to obtain) or papyrus (which is primary export goods), as well as stone blocks. Of course, initially you are forced to import since some of the goods are impossible to obtain in your city.
Cleopatra is an add-on to the basic Pharaoh game. That means that you have to have the Pharaoh already installed on your hard-drive, while the music and other data are downloaded from the Cleopatra CD. Apart from the known options of the old campaigns in Pharaoh, Cleopatra offers four brand-spankin' new campaigns for us to toy with.
The add-on follows the timelines of the original, continuing with the progress through the history of Egypt. You can continue playing new campaigns with a dynasty built in Pharaoh, or create one from scratch, and attempt a new, and much more challenging missions in the Cleopatra Xpansion. Except Malaria disease, now you have the Plague that decimates your population. There is also some major bad weather that will prove as an obstacle in the game. The locusts, which will eat your crops, and the frogs, are particularly bad. The developers exhibit a fair sense of humor, so, for example, when the frogs swarm your city, each house affected by them will have a little frog on it. The people will be dissatisfied and leave town when the frogs begin to molest them?! Then you have migrating asps.. They and the lions present another big obstacle, during the building phase of the game. An even worse predicament is when the River Nile transforms into a River of Blood, and scares the socks off the population (well, it would if they wore socks). They will migrate to other settlements if the player doesn't apply some damage control and mitigate the hardships that keep hitting the town.
So, there are four new campaigns..
While the title of this game is Cleopatra, only one of the four missions actually deals with her years as leader of Egypt. In Valleys of the Kings campaign, the main objective is to build a massive graveyard with enormous tombs and gravestones. You will carve those into the rock of the nearby hills, which will in time dwarf your settlement. The construction site will have to be guarded from potential tomb raiders that wish to rob the valuables that the Pharaoh will take with him into the afterworld.
The second campaign places the player into the sandals of the great pharaoh Ramses. His mission is to build up Egypt to the maximum, and collect as much wealth as possible. Ancient Conquerors features military campaigns against good, old, wild tribes that will attempt everything in their power to destroy Egyptian civilization.
The last campaign is Cleopatra. The objective is to build the capitol, Alexandria, and objects within the city, like the library or the lighthouse. The main adversaries in this campaign will be none other than Romans! During the four additional campaigns, the players will get to meet many new nations --- Romans, Hittites, Persians and even Macedonians. New enemies require a new approach in combat, demanding more of the player than in Pharaoh. The game 'sticks' to the historical facts and time frames, so anybody who knows anything about history knows how Cleopatra's character ends.
The gameplay is identical to the original, and numerous options for leading your dynasty from Pharaoh serve as proof. If, for some reason, you don't have your previous Pharaoh saved positions, Cleopatra has a mode by which missions can be played in the order that the player desires. This will be a preferred option for those that do not wish to repeat campaigns played in the original. Since this is a direct add-on to the game, Cleopatra features a higher level of difficulty from start to finish. To be more precise, the campaigns are very difficult! The whole thing reminds me of what we had with Commandos and its expansion, Beyond the Call of Duty. The missions are hard in the beginning, when the cities are mere settlements, and still don't resemble the work of a megalomaniac, and they stay that way, even when the player becomes experienced. Each scenario has its special challenges, and features numerous side-missions.
It is imperative that the player is careful at all times. Hailstorms will often kill your slaves/walkers as they wander to the outskirts of the map, which presents a significant loss of the labor force. That is why a movement limitation option is offered to save lives of your workers from a certain death. The pyramids are pretty, but useless. Unless the mission goals require it, I wouldn't suggest the enterprise of building them. The surplus of rocks and laborers is very rare, so the pyramids are not a must-have project. It would be wiser to invest into more useful things, like making the city prettier with different ornaments, boosting the moral of the citizens. While we are on the subject, it's better to have slums on the other part of the town, distancing them from the elite city residences. If you mix them, it will inevitably lead to general dissatisfaction. The food is always needed, so the player has to provide it in enormous quantities. If Oziris isn't angry, the surplus can always be sold, or stockpiled, in case Nile floods the crops. Workers should be paid wages somewhat bigger than the Kingdom offers, but you shouldn't be lenient on the taxes.
New Cleopatra buildings include: Zoo, Lamp Maker, Henna Farms, Paint Maker, and Tomb Painters. In general, new monuments are not so time consuming as in original Pharaoh missions (in dimension they resemble buildings of the New Kingdom). But the basics of the game are the same: build a city as great as possible, with an economic infrastructure that will manufacture goods and provide finances for building monuments.
And What About the Design?
There are a few improvements over the Pharaoh engine-speedier pyramid constructing (if gods are in a good mood). Some missions have a timer, while others require the players to simply survive a certain period. The game's graphic design is pretty much identical to Pharaoh. There are more units: buildings, resources and, of course, monuments added. As for the sound.. the same. The developers went with the same choice of themes and music samples. How cheap!
The add-on contains a map editor, giving the more creative minds the chance to create their own campaigns. If it wasn't for the new objects and units, Cleopatra would look as a well-done collection of homegrown campaigns. The editor features a fine help menu, but the rest of the game is apparently lacking a manual? I guess they figure we all have our Pharaoh manuals? I suppose those Impression Games guys did this because Cleopatra is intended for true Pharaoh lovers. The complexity of the game and missions only asserts this.
Even though, compared to Pharaoh, Cleopatra is totally unoriginal; it's a beautiful game that attracts with its looks and dynamics rather than originality. Pharaoh is a game that is played for months, and doesn't grow out of date. Anybody that liked Pharaoh, won't be disappointed with this game. There's no blood and gore, beating, rail-gun frags - just old Egypt and you.

Something old and something older.
Rather than try to reinvent the wheel with its follow-up to the city-building classic Caesar III, Impressions Studios takes us farther back in time to the burning sands of the Nile River delta. Pharaoh is a more primitive, but also more grandiose, strategic experience. The result is, admittedly, much like Caesar III, but different enough to grab and hold your attention even if youâre already a master builder from the later time period.

Pharaoh is heavily steeped in Caesarâs legacy. The maps, graphics, layout, and basic strategy have been moved over intact from Caesar III. You zone housing, buildings, and roads and hope they attract immigrants, and then tweak them to maximize efficiency. You must control taxation, create neighborhoods and businesses and accomplish all this at a frantic real-time pace.
From a lowly farming villageâ¦.
Egypt is at the mercy of the Nileâs notoriously fickle flood/recede patterns. If the flooding doesnât leave much fertile land in a given year, a food shortage is guaranteed. You cannot depend on crops the way you did in Rome, so you have to make sure you have enough money to buy food from other cities in the event of a shortage. Since the Egyptians never developed aqueduct systems, you must zone housing only on or near grasslands. Itâs a challenge to make sure your neighborhoods have access to all the amenities they demand when housing space is so limited.
Pharaoh consists of several stand-alone scenarios and a massive campaign that, in an inspired gameplay choice, casts you as progenitor of your own dynasty. You arenât a city governor going from region to region as with the Caesar series â you begin as the founder of a city, and then play as that founderâs descendants over the course of 2,000 years, eventually becoming Pharaoh and building monuments that will stand throughout history (until Lara Croft comes along to defile them, of course). The early stages of the campaign serve as a tutorial, gradually introducing you to the buildings, commands and various gameplay concepts. The only problem with this system is that old-school fans will try to skip ahead, creating cities with problems that cannot be solved as the right building or resource isnât available yet.
Itâs the building of monuments that is the greatest addition and challenge in Pharaoh. A pyramid requires a tremendous outlay of resources. If you donât plan things right, your construction project can shatter the cityâs economy. But watching your pyramid actually being built is an awesome sight, and the finished monument is even more impressive. Interacting with the gods is another interesting aspect, since you must appease them with frequent festivals and numerous temples. Making a goddess like Osiris unhappy is a bad idea, as he controls the Nile.
Pharaoh is similar enough to Caesar III to make it familiar to old-school fans who want to replay that classic with a different spin, but will reward new players as well.
