history of the title
pharaoh, meaning "great house ",originally referred to the king's palace, during the reign of Thutmose iii (ca.1479-1425 BCE)in the new kingdom, after the foreign rule of the Hyksos during the second Intermediate period, became a form of address for the person who was king and son of god Ra."the Egyptian sun god Ra,considered the father of all pharaohs, was said to have creating all other gods."(Donald B.Redford,Ph.D,Pedd State).
the term pharaoh ultimately was derived from a compound word represented as pr-3,written with the two biliteral hieroglyphs pr"house"and 3 "column".it was used only in larger phrases such as smr pr-3"courtier of the high houde'with specific reference to the buildings of the court or palace.from the twelfth dynasty onward the word appears in a wish formula "great house,may it live, prosper , and be in health " but again only with reference to the rpyal palace and not the person.
