What was special about the pharaohs?

Pharaohs, like most leaders, were related to the royal family, by blood or marriage. Any relation to female royalty also had the right to rule. But Pharaohs were not just political leaders, they were religious leaders too.Initially, the rulers were considered the sons of a cow deity, Bat and eventually Hathor and they occupied her throne to rule the country and officiate in religious rites. Later they were believed to be reincarnation of Horus in life, and Osiris in death. Once the cult of Isis and Osiris developed, the pharaoh was seen as a bridge between Osiris and the dead. There is some evidence that for a short while, the pharaohs were used as religious sacrifices.


What are the pharaohs considered to be?

In general, apart from the ruler of the Two Lands (North and South Egypt), the Pharaoh was the manifestation of Horus. When the Pharaoh died, he became Osiris (the father of Horus), and the new Pharaoh became Horus. One of the titles of Horus was 'the High, the Far-off', representing the discernment of a hawk flying high above the ground, yet observing the smallest movement (a useful characteristic for a ruler).


What color hair does the Greek goddess Athena have?

It is interesting to note Athena is shown with both black and blonde hair. In the Titan's Curse she is seen with black hair, while in The Sea of Monsters she is described as having blonde hair. In the original Greek myths, she has "golden hair" as do all the other gods.


How are Presidents and Pharaohs alike?

They both controlled their territory. They can declare war, make peace, change taxes, and do whatever. The Pharaoh can do whatever the president can and probably more. -wes615
