Ask Amenophis:


	What does the word "Pharaoh" mean?

	When did Pharaohs wear a blue crown?

	Who was the first Pharaoh whose name we know?

Amenophis says:

	Cleopatra was the last of the Egyptian Pharaohs. After her death, the Roman Emperor became Pharaoh in name, but never visited Egypt.
	Hatshepsut was the first female Pharaoh and the first female ruler of a powerful country in history.
	King Tutankhamum, the most famous of all Pharaohs, was really quite a minor king and died when he was very young. We only know so much about him because his was the only Pharaoh's tomb that was not completely robbed in antiquity.
