In 1554 B.C. the period in ancient Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom began. It was during this 500-year stretch-- the most powerful era of an already powerful civilization-- that the ancient Egyptian king came to be called "pharaoh." Today, the word and the culture it is associated with conjures up images of sphinxes and pyramids, hieroglyphs and mummies, and, of course, the most famous pharaoh, King Tutankhamen. As the rulers of arguably the greatest civilization in the history of the world, the pharaohs of ancient Egypt continue to fascinate, thousands of years after their fall.
