  • Name the Pharaoh

    Here's a little game. I've picked images of 10 Pharaohs.
    Guess who they are based solely on their appearance.

                      #3 and #6 are easy. 6's appearance stands out the most of all Pharaohs, probably.

                      Spoiler:
                      Narmer and Ekhnaton/Akhenaton/Amenhotep IV/whatever-spelling respectively
                      .

                      #7 has to be
                      Spoiler:
                      Cleopatra
                      based on the non-Egyptian style among other things, which makes it look ugly .

                      Any chance #10 is
                      Spoiler:
                      Amenkhotep III
                      ? Probably not, though.

                      And #9 is just obscure. The statue reminds me of another statue, which is of Khafra, but #9 isn't him. Throw in a timeframe hint .

                        Well done!
                        You got 3, 6, and 7 right. And you're really close on 10. Try again and you'll probably get it. As for 9, I can't give up too much information or I'll give it away, but here's a hint:
                        Spoiler:
                        Think fairly late, but certainly not as late as, say, number 7.
