Pharaoh

Here you have some curiosities about the pharaoh:

  • The pharaohs had 2 crowns one of the upper egypt called hedjet and an other one of the lower egypt called deshert and both together are called pschent.
  • Scepters and staves were a general sign of authority in Ancient Egypt. One of the earliest royal scepters was discovered in the tomb of Khasekhemwy in Abydos.
  • The earliest evidence we have of the use of the Uraeus a rearing cobra is from the reign of Den from the first dynasty. The cobra supposedly protected the pharaoh by spitting fire at its enemies.
