The Egyptians called their king "pharaoh" originally meaning "great house," referring to the royal palace. This term evolved to represent not just the place but the king himself, as the pharaoh was viewed as a divine ruler and embodiment of the god Horus. Using the title showed the respect and reverence the people held for their ruler's unique status.
