What Do You Think Of The Name Pharaoh For A Boy .

How famous is King Tut (Pharaoh)?

King Tut famous for his jewelry and artifacts becuase Egyptians wore ornamental jewelry pieces as accessories and as magical amulets. Such jewels were mostly made of gold, silver, and electrum, a natural alloy of gold and silver, and inlaid with multicolored semiprecious stones and glass.The jewelry contained symbols and amulets that would provide the wearer, alive or dead, with protection, prosperity, endurance, and long life.Within the wrappings of King Tutankhamun's mummy, 143 pieces of jewelry were found. They consist of amulets, chains, collars, necklaces, pendants, earrings and ear ornaments, bracelets and anklets, and finger rings, sheaths for fingers and toes, and pectorals, a large piece of jewelry worn on the chest.The importance of the jewels is not only in the color of the metal or beads, but also in the originality of the design and manufacturing techniques.The cloisonne technique was used in pectorals and pendants. The cloisonne technique created outlines of figures and symbols with gold wires that were then soldered to sheets of beaten gold and later inlaid with colored stones or glass.Filigree, a delicate, lacelike ornamental work of gold or silver wire, was mostly used in buckles and clasps of gold. Granulation was the technique of creating various designs by soldering very tiny gold balls to the surface of gold sheets. The stones used in the inlays were considered to have magical properties based on their color.Turquoise was mined in Sinai and its blue color symbolized fertility, good luck, and protection against the evil eye.Lapis lazuli might have been brought to Egypt through trade with Western Asiatic regions. It originated in Afghanistan. Its dark blue color symbolized fertility and good luck.Carnelian came from the Egyptian deserts. It varies from dark brown to light brown in color and symbolized the warm blood of life. Another kind of carnelian is chalcedony. It is translucent and has a light green color.The scarab Khepri was considered the incarnation of the morning sun. A relationship was drawn between the beetle, which rolls its ball of eggs all day, and the evolution of the sun disk across the sky.The scarab beetle became a sign of good omen and a symbol of fertility and rejuvenation. Scarabs were mostly made from blue stone or faience.

What is the name of an Egyptian headdress worn by Pharaohs?

There isn't a single name of them all. The Egyptian Headdress (also referred to as Head Crowns) that Pharaohs wore, had many different names and meanings to them. Depending on what type of Royal Headdress they wore, it always had a significance to some event or ritual. Headdresses  can also be considered as a Head Crown that the Pharaohs wore. For example, the White Crown was worn to symbolize the Pharaoh's control of Upper Egypt and thus was worn exclusively in engagements in Upper Egypt only. Alternatively, the Red Crown, was for Lower Egypt and events or engagements in Lower Egypt only.The most famous Nemes Headdress (like pictured above - that's King Tut wearing it), is perhaps the most worn and the oldest of all the Headdresses (or Head Crowns), is nothing more than a head-cloth.The names of all the Divine headdresses are:Amen Horus MinAmentetAnhuretAnuketAtem HorusAyebtBesHapiHaHah (or Heh)Harakhte SekhmetHathor IsisHemsutHorusIsisKhnumKhonsMa'atMeret (The Nile god of Lower Egypt)Meret (The Nile god of Upper Egypt)MeshenetMinMutNeithNekhbet Isis MutNephthysNutOsiris Horus ReRe'ReshefSatisSelketSeshatSukhosTanent IunitWasetHesat (the White Cow)The name of all the Pharaonic Crowns (Headdresses) are:NemesKhepreshCap crownDeshretHedjetSekhemty (double crown of united Egypt)AtefThutyKhat (or Afnet)Hemhem (Triple Atef crown)Source Credits:http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/ph...http://www.reshafim.org.il/ad/eg...http://www.touregypt.net/feature...

Was Ramses II the Pharaoh depicted as "Moses's brother" in the Bible?

1 Kings 6:1 places the Exodus event 480 years before the construction of Solomon's Temple, implying an Exodus at c. 1450 BCE, but the number is rhetorical rather than historical, representing a symbolic twelve generations of forty years each. There are major archaeological obstacles to an earlier date such as this.“And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord”.The Torah lists the places where the Israelites rested. A few of the names at the start of the itinerary, including Ra'amses, Pithom and Succoth, are reasonably well identified with archaeological sites on the eastern edge of the Nile Delta, as is Kadesh-Barnea, where the Israelites spend 38 years after turning back from Canaan; other than these, very little is certain.The crossing of the Red Sea has been variously placed at the Pelusic branch of the Nile, anywhere along the network of Bitter Lakes and smaller canals that formed a barrier toward eastward escape, the Gulf of Suez (south-southeast of Succoth), and the Gulf of Aqaba (south of Ezion-Geber), or even on a lagoon on the Mediterranean coast. The Biblical Mount Sinai is identified in Christian tradition with Jebel Musa in the south of the Sinai Peninsula, but this association dates only from the 3rd century CE and no evidence of the Exodus has been found there.Ramesses II, who is depicted as the brother of Moses is not correct, Ramesses was born c. 1303 BCE; he died July or August 1213 BCE; he reigned 1279–1213 BCE, he was also known as Ramesses the Great and was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt.The more accurate Pharaoh during the time of Moses would be Thutmose II (1492 to 1479 BC). Thutmose II is best qualified to be the pharaoh of Exodus based on the fact that he had a brief, prosperous reign and then a sudden collapse with no son to succeed him.His widow Hatshepsut then became first Regent (for Thutmose III) then Pharaoh in her own right. Thutmose II is the only Pharaoh's mummy to display cysts, possible evidence for the plague of boils mentioned in Exodus 9 which spread through Egypt at that time.Thutmose II's body was found in the Deir el-Bahri Cache above the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and can be viewed today in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
