The pharaohs, dynasty by dynasty: from Narmer and the unification of the Two Lands through the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms to Cleopatra VII and the Roman annexation of Egypt.

Built on Wikipedia and Wikidata, it is the direct sibling of Rulers of Ancient Rome — the same portrait-gallery treatment applied to one of the longest continuous lines of rulership in recorded history.
