Question

Why did the Egyptians call their king pharaoh?

A.) The Egyptians borrowed the title from the Sumerians.
B.) The king wore the Double Crown of Egypt, and the word means "he who rules all".
C.) Thinking it was disrespectful to speak directly about a god-king, they referred to the palace instead.
D.) Calling such a powerful ruler king was not enough, and the word pharaoh means god-king.

Answer 1

it is C. Thinking it was disrespectful to speak directly about a god-king, they referred to the palace instead.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Basically, it was considered for the Pharaoh to be a deity, like a half man half god. Because of this they weren't allowed to mention them so they referred to the palace instead where the Pharaoh ruled. The title Pharaoh means something like the great house, and it's great because the man-god is inside ruling over the people.
