I was wondering if any of you have a favourite pharaoh? Or maybe you have more than one favourite? Is there a reason you favour them, or is it something you just can't explain?

I do have a least favorite - the champion thief of other peoples monuments Rameses II.

I asked for FAVOURITE pharaohs, not least favourite ones. Ramesses II is one of my favourites.

I don't really have any favourite ones but I guess that most made some positive contributions.

I definitely have a favorite. So much so I got their cartouche tattooed on my forearm. Her name is Hatshepsut, she was the first badass woman in history that I've ever heard of. She was a very successful ruler and she made Egypt a very prosperous country in her time. Look her up if you haven't heard of her. Read about her expeditions to Punt.
I know that alot of people are just getting to know about her because they have finally identified her body and the Discovery Channel did a piece on her, but she isn't just some seductive sex symbol that people tend to make out of Egyptian women of power. And yes she was an actual Pharaoh, not a Queen.
Seriously check her out.

Akhnaton, without doubt. He was a trail blazer.

If you go round Egypt you regularly see Rameses IIs name overcarving the name of the Pharoh who actualy did the work.

I see. I cannot comment on it for I have not travelled to Egypt.

Everbody in the World believe that Tutankamon is the greatest paharaoh at the Ancient Egypt History. But I think that Rameses 2 and Seti 1 are the greatest Paharaohs in History. As Rameses 2 is the paraoh , Egypt had the greatest Time. But Seti was a great warrior. With him Egypt won lots of war and also Egypt had a big treasure at the Seti 1 time.

Ramesses II certainly did keep Egypt prosperous. He's definitely at the top of my list of favourites. Very Happy

Well for me my favorite pharaoh was TutenKhamen. he is a great pharaoh and i think his tomb has a movie but i can't remember the tittle because it was an old one. But it shows the greatness of Tutenkhamen.
