Egyptian pharaohs stand apart from all other rulers and regents in the sands of time. From Menes (Men-ez) to Cleopatra, pharaohs lived a lavish life and were treated like gods. They dined on the finest food and bathed in milk and honey. Thousands of workers were employed to construct their tombs and they executed authority like no one before them. Naturally, some of them got carried away a bit too much.
