Who is your favorite ancient Egyptian Pharaoh?

[Still-alive]

I am reading about ancient Egypt and am learning a lot about their pharaohs. do YOU have a favorite?

If you have no idea then just choose one you like based on the brief description i provided y'all!

a few others i wanna mention are:

Djoser: Known for commissioning the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, the first major stone monument.

Akhenaten: Known for turning Egypt toward a monotheistic religion centered on the sun disc, the Aten.

Tutankhamun: Famously known as "King Tut," his fame stems from the 1922 discovery of his almost entirely intact tomb.

Amenhotep III: led Egypt to its golden age of peace, prosperity, and artistic splendor, marking the peak of 18th Dynasty influence. He transformed Thebes into the world's most magnificent city through massive building projects, including the Luxor Temple and the colossal Colossi of Memnon.

Narmer: Often credited with unifying Upper and Lower Egypt to create the first dynasty.

Khufu: Builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Hatshepsut: One of Egypt’s most successful female pharaohs, known for establishing trade routes and monumental building projects.

Thutmose III: A military genius known as the "Napoleon of Egypt" who expanded the empire to its greatest extent.

Ramesses II: Also known as Ramesses the Great, he reigned for over 60 years, built massive monuments (like Abu Simbel), and fought the Hittites. and brokered maybe the first known peace treaty

Reading Mark Antony next to Caesar sounds weird lol. Marcus Antonius please. Or let's English-ify Caesar, which could give... Seizure? Jk jk

Uhhhh I sympathize with Akhenaton, that guy who messed with polytheism, which worked for a time, then everyone got back to traditional polytheism because, you know, what the fuck bro 😂

My top three favorites are: Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, and Ramesses the Great.

Hatshepsut. I like Cleopatra too, but she wasn’t really a pharaoh. Akhenaten and Ramses the Great (they named a condom for him) are interesting, but I can’t say I really like them.
