Pharaoh was a title used since the New Kingdom for the king of Upper and Lower Egypt. The term goes back to the Egyptian word Per aa `big house`, which was originally neither a ruler nor a proper name, but the name for the royal court or palace. As a name for the person of the king it came only from Thutmose III. on. But even after that, this title was not the rule and only rarely part of the official protocol. In Coptic - the last language level of Egyptian - it is the normal word for king. Pharaoh with Nemes headscarf, ceremonial beard, collar and snake scepter
