The Pharaohs
In the ancient Egypt the Pharaohs were considered to be both mortal rulers and divine deities. In the entire thirty and above dynasties of the ancient Egyptian history, it has been conjectured that around 170 or more kings had ruled the great land of Egypt for near a time span of three thousand years. The actual throne of Egypt was actually intended to move from the father to the son. However, in most of the cases the line of kingship was somehow interrupted by mayhem, murder and mystifying disappearances. Every time a new king took over the throne of Egypt there was a new kingdom started in the history of this interesting nation. As the Pharaohs or rulers often intermarried with brothers, sisters, daughters and granddaughters in order to keep the throne revolving in their family, the throne would however managed to shift hands a number of times. This basically led to a dynamic and most often a much complex ancient history of the Pharaohs in Egypt.
