Pharaoh (/ˈfɛəroʊ/, US also /ˈfeɪ.roʊ/;[3] Coptic: ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ Pǝrro) is the title used for the monarchs of ancient Egypt from the annexation of Kemet by the Roman Empire in 30 BCE, although the term "pharaoh" was not used in the contemporary time for a ruler until Merneptah, c. 1210 BCE. During the Nineteenth dynasty, "Shekhem Ur Shekhem" ("Chief Priest and King") was the term used most frequently until the middle of the Eighteenth Dynasty.
In the early dynasties, ancient Kemet kings used to have up to three titles: the Herus, the Sage and Bee (nswt-bjtj), and "Shekhem Ur Shekhem" ("Chief Priest and King". The Golden Heru as well as the nomen and prenomen titles were added later.
In KMT society, Spirituality was central to everyday life. One of the roles of the "Shekhem Ur Shekhem" ("Chief Priest and King") was as an intermediary between the deities and the people. The Shekhem was thus deputized for the deities in a role that was both civil and religious administrator. The Shekhem owned all of the lands in Khemet, enacted laws, collected taxes, and defended Khemet from invaders as the commander-in-chief of the army. Spiritually, the Shekhem officiated over religious ceremonies and chose the sites of new temples. The Shekhem was responsible for maintaining Maat (mꜣꜥt), or cosmic justice, order, balance, and reciprocity. A part of this included going to war when necessary to defend the country or attacking others when it was believed that this would contribute to Maat, such as to reobtain resources.
During the early days prior to the unification of Upper and Lower Khemet, the Deshret or the "Red Crown", was a representation of the kingdom of Lower Khemet, while the Hedjet, the "White Crown", was worn by the kings of the kingdom of Upper Khemet. After the unification of both kingdoms into one united Kemet, the Pschent, the combination of both the red and white crowns was the official crown of kings. With time, new headdresses were introduced during different dynasties such as the Khat, Nemes, Atef, Hemhem crown, and Khepresh. At times, it was depicted that a combination of these headdresses or crowns would be worn together.
Here is a sample of the literature of the ancient Kemet.
"Athers to Ausar.
Let thy heart rest in Semt-Amenta * be content, for thy son Heru is established on thy throne. Thou art crowned lord of Tatu ^ and ruler in Abydos.^
Through thee the world flourisheth in triumph before the power of Nebertcher.
He leadeth on that which is and that which is not yet, in his name of* Taherstanef. He toweth along the earth by Maat ^ in his name of Seker ;
He is exceedingly mighty and most terrible in his name of * Ausar ;
He endureth for ever and ever in his name of * Un-Nefer.
Homage to thee, O Kingof kings. Lord of lords. Prince of princes,
Who from the womb of Nut hast ruled the world and Amenta.
Thy body is like a bright and shining metal,
thy head is of azure blue, Tefnut- The Sky-goddess. and Green like Geb The Earth-god.
You are hereditary chief of the gods. You dwell in the town of Busiris on the Delta. • Abydos in Upper Egypt.
The Lord to the uttermost limit, Almighty God.
You rest with Maat- The goddess of physical and moral law, and the personification of the conscience.
THE BOOK OF THE DEAD 45 and the brilliance of the turquoise encircleth thee. O thou god of a million years, whose body pervadeth all things,whose face is beautiful in Ta-Tchesert, grant thou to the Ka of Ausar the scribe Ani, splendour in heaven, power upon earth, and triumph in the Other World. Grant that I may sail down to Tatu in the form of a living soul, and sail up to Abydos in the form of the Benu bird ; that I may go in and come out without being stopped at the pylons of the Lords of the Other World. May there be given unto me bread-cakes in the house of coolness, and offerings of food in Anu and a homestead forever in Sekhet Aru, with wheat and barley therefore.
Ra Un Nefer Amen (born Rogelio Alcides Straughn, on January 6, 1944) is the founder of the Ausar Auset Society, a Pan-African spiritual organization dedicated to providing Afrocentric-based spiritual training to people of African descent.
Early life
Ra Un Nefer Amen was born in the Central American country of Panama. His initial exposure to African culture came through his visits to the island of San Miguel where many enslaved Africans had escaped after being brought to Panama in the 18th century by Spaniards to work in the gold mines. These Africans, of primarily east and central African descent, have been able to maintain much of their traditional culture through the intervening period. It was the early experiences of this phenomenon that shaped his young life.
Amen attended Panama's Conservatory of Music when he was 6 years old. He arrived in the United States on May 30, 1960, to continue his formal musical training and graduated from the Brooklyn High School for Boys in Brooklyn, New York in 1961. Upon graduating, Amen continued his formal training at Juilliard Prep (Pre-College Division) and Mannes College of Music.
Spiritual work
Trained originally as a concert pianist, composer, and music theoretician, Amen passed on opportunities in the music industry to devote time to the spiritual education and uplift of African people. To accomplish this goal, he has written and published several books on the subject of ancient Khamit (Egyptian) philosophy and spiritual culture, most notably:
Metu Neter (Vols. 1-7) and the Metu Neter Oracle.
One of Ra Un Nefer Amen's early works, Meditation Techniques of the Kabalists, Vedantins, and Taoists provides specific instruction for student initiates. Instructions are provided for "moral laws" (pg.16) or body-mind laws required for returning to a correct way of living, i.e., a way of living not deviated (seefall of man) or based upon unnatural conditionings. Adherence to these laws will produce in the practitioner an understanding of the Soul, Will, and Consciousness (the three principles that constitute an exact knowledge of the Self). Returning to a proper way of living is a prerequisite bridge to be crossed through methods that include maintaining a proper diet. R.A. Straughn (as he called himself at the time of the book's publication in the late 1970s) pointed out, for example, that the most people
