Definition
"El faraón" refers to the ancient Egyptian ruler who held supreme power over the kingdom. A pharaoh was considered both a political leader and a divine figure, governing Egypt and overseeing its religious and administrative functions many years ago.
Etymology
The word "el faraón" comes from the Greek term 'pharaō,' which itself was derived from the ancient Egyptian 'per-aa,' meaning 'great house.' Did you know the term originally referred to the royal palace, not the ruler? Over time, it came to denote the king himself.
