pharaoh
the official title borne by the Egyptian kings down to the time when that
country was conquered by the Greeks. (See EGYPT.) The name is a compound, as
some think, of the words Ra, the "sun" or "sun-god," and the article phe,
"the," prefixed; hence phera, "the sun," or "the sun-god." But others, perhaps
more correctly, think the name derived from Perao, "the great house" = his
majesty = in Turkish, "the Sublime Porte." (1.) The Pharaoh who was on the
throne when Abram went down into Egypt (Gen. 12:10-20) was probably one of the
Hyksos, or "shepherd kings." The Egyptians called the nomad tribes of Syria
Shasu, "plunderers," their king or chief Hyk, and hence the name of those
invaders who conquered the native kings and established a strong government,
with Zoan or Tanis as their capital. They were of Semitic origin, and of
kindred blood accordingly with Abram. They were probably driven forward by the
pressure of the Hittites. The name they bear on the monuments is "Mentiu."
(2.)
The Pharaoh of Joseph's days (Gen. 41) was probably Apopi, or Apopis, the last
of the Hyksos kings. To the old native Egyptians, who were an African race,
shepherds were "an abomination;" but to the Hyksos kings these Asiatic
shepherds who now appeared with Jacob at their head were congenial, and being
akin to their own race, had a warm welcome (Gen. 47:5, 6). Some argue that
Joseph came to Egypt in the reign of Thothmes III., long after the expulsion of
the Hyksos, and that his influence is to be seen in the rise and progress of
the religious revolution in the direction of monotheism which characterized the
middle of the Eighteenth Dynasty. The wife of Amenophis III., of that dynasty,
was a Semite. Is this singular fact to be explained from the presence of some
of Joseph's kindred at the Egyptian court? Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Thy father
and thy brethren are come unto thee: the land of Egypt is before thee; in the
best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell" (Gen. 47:5, 6).
(3.)
The "new king who knew not Joseph" (Ex. 1:8-22) has been generally supposed to
have been Aahmes I., or Amosis, as he is called by Josephus. Recent
discoveries, however, have led to the conclusion that Seti was the "new king."
For about seventy years the Hebrews in Egypt were under the powerful protection
of Joseph. After his death their condition was probably very slowly and
gradually changed. The invaders, the Hyksos, who for some five centuries had
been masters of Egypt, were driven out, and the old dynasty restored. The
Israelites now began to be looked down upon. They began to be afflicted and
tyrannized over. In process of time a change appears to have taken place in the
government of Egypt. A new dynasty, the Nineteenth, as it is called, came into
power under Seti I., who was its founder. He associated with him in his
government his son, Rameses II., when he was yet young, probably ten or twelve
years of age. Note, Professor Maspero, keeper of the museum of Bulak, near
Cairo, had his attention in 1870 directed to the fact that scarabs, i.e., stone
and metal imitations of the beetle (symbols of immortality), originally worn as
amulets by royal personages, which were evidently genuine relics of the time of
the ancient Pharaohs, were being sold at Thebes and different places along the
Nile. This led him to suspect that some hitherto undiscovered burial-place of
the Pharaohs had been opened, and that these and other relics, now secretly
sold, were a part of the treasure found there. For a long time he failed, with
all his ingenuity, to find the source of these rare treasures. At length one of
those in the secret volunteered to give information regarding this
burial-place. The result was that a party was conducted in 1881 to Dier
el-Bahari, near Thebes, when the wonderful discovery was made of thirty-six
mummies of kings, queens, princes, and high priests hidden away in a cavern
prepared for them, where they had lain undisturbed for thirty centuries. "The
temple of Deir el-Bahari stands in the middle of a natural amphitheatre of
cliffs, which is only one of a number of smaller amphitheatres into which the
limestone mountains of the tombs are broken up. In the wall of rock separating
this basin from the one next to it some ancient Egyptian engineers had
constructed the hiding-place, whose secret had been kept for nearly three
thousand years." The exploring party being guided to the place, found behind a
great rock a shaft 6 feet square and about 40 feet deep, sunk into the
limestone. At the bottom of this a passage led westward for 25 feet, and then
turned sharply northward into the very heart of the mountain, where in a
chamber 23 feet by 13, and 6 feet in height, they came upon the wonderful
treasures of antiquity. The mummies were all carefully secured and brought down
to Bulak, where they were deposited in the royal museum, which has now been
removed to Ghizeh. Among the most notable of the ancient kings of Egypt thus
discovered were Thothmes III., Seti I., and Rameses II. Thothmes III. was the
most distinguished monarch of the brilliant Eighteenth Dynasty. When this mummy
was unwound "once more, after an interval of thirty-six centuries, human eyes
gazed on the features of the man who had conquered Syria and Cyprus and
Ethiopia, and had raised Egypt to the highest pinnacle of her power. The
spectacle, however, was of brief duration. The remains proved to be in so
fragile a state that there was only time to take a hasty photograph, and then
the features crumbled to pieces and vanished like an apparition, and so passed
away from human view for ever." "It seems strange that though the body of this
man," who overran Palestine with his armies two hundred years before the birth
of Moses, "mouldered to dust, the flowers with which it had been wreathed were
so wonderfully preserved that even their colour could be distinguished"
(Manning's Land of the Pharaohs). Seti I. (his throne name Merenptah), the
father of Rameses II., was a great and successful warrior, also a great
builder. The mummy of this Pharaoh, when unrolled, brought to view "the most
beautiful mummy head ever seen within the walls of the museum. The sculptors of
Thebes and Abydos did not flatter this Pharaoh when they gave him that
delicate, sweet, and smiling profile which is the admiration of travellers.
After a lapse of thirty-two centuries, the mummy retains the same expression
which characterized the features of the living man. Most remarkable of all,
when compared with the mummy of Rameses II., is the striking resemblance
between the father and the son. Seti I. is, as it were, the idealized type of
Rameses II. He must have died at an advanced age. The head is shaven, the
eyebrows are white, the condition of the body points to considerably more than
threescore years of life, thus confirming the opinions of the learned, who have
attributed a long reign to this king."
(4.) Rameses II., the son of Seti I., is
probably the Pharaoh of the Oppression. During his forty years' residence at
the court of Egypt, Moses must have known this ruler well. During his sojourn
in Midian, however, Rameses died, after a reign of sixty-seven years, and his
body embalmed and laid in the royal sepulchre in the Valley of the Tombs of
Kings beside that of his father. Like the other mummies found hidden in the
cave of Deir el-Bahari, it had been for some reason removed from its original
tomb, and probably carried from place to place till finally deposited in the
cave where it was so recently discovered. In 1886, the mummy of this king, the
"great Rameses," the "Sesostris" of the Greeks, was unwound, and showed the
body of what must have been a robust old man. The features revealed to view are
thus described by Maspero: "The head is long and small in proportion to the
body. The top of the skull is quite bare. On the temple there are a few sparse
hairs, but at the poll the hair is quite thick, forming smooth, straight locks
about two inches in length. White at the time of death, they have been dyed a
light yellow by the spices used in embalmment. The forehead is low and narrow;
the brow-ridge prominent; the eye-brows are thick and white; the eyes are small
and close together; the nose is long, thin, arched like the noses of the
Bourbons; the temples are sunk; the cheek-bones very prominent; the ears round,
standing far out from the head, and pierced, like those of a woman, for the
wearing of earrings; the jaw-bone is massive and strong; the chin very
prominent; the mouth small, but thick-lipped; the teeth worn and very brittle,
but white and well preserved. The moustache and beard are thin. They seem to
have been kept shaven during life, but were probably allowed to grow during the
king's last illness, or they may have grown after death. The hairs are white,
like those of the head and eyebrows, but are harsh and bristly, and a tenth of
an inch in length. The skin is of an earthy-brown, streaked with black.
Finally, it may be said, the face of the mummy gives a fair idea of the face of
the living king. The expression is unintellectual, perhaps slightly animal; but
even under the somewhat grotesque disguise of mummification there is plainly to
be seen an air of sovereign majesty, of resolve, and of pride." Both on his
father's and his mother's side it has been pretty clearly shown that Rameses
had Chaldean or Mesopotamian blood in his veins to such a degree that he might
be called an Assyrian. This fact is thought to throw light on Isa. 52:4.
(5.)
The Pharaoh of the Exodus was probably Menephtah I., the fourteenth and eldest
surviving son of Rameses II. He resided at Zoan, where he had the various
interviews with Moses and Aaron recorded in the book of Exodus. His mummy was
not among those found at Deir el-Bahari. It is still a question, however,
whether Seti II. or his father Menephtah was the Pharaoh of the Exodus. Some
think the balance of evidence to be in favour of the former, whose reign it is
known began peacefully, but came to a sudden and disastrous end. The "Harris
papyrus," found at Medinet-Abou in Upper Egypt in 1856, a state document
written by Rameses III., the second king of the Twentieth Dynasty, gives at
length an account of a great exodus from Egypt, followed by wide-spread
confusion and anarchy. This, there is great reason to believe, was the Hebrew
exodus, with which the Nineteenth Dynasty of the Pharaohs came to an end. This
period of anarchy was brought to a close by Setnekht, the founder of the
Twentieth Dynasty. "In the spring of 1896, Professor Flinders Petrie
discovered, among the ruins of the temple of Menephtah at Thebes, a large
granite stela, on which is engraved a hymn of victory commemorating the defeat
of Libyan invaders who had overrun the Delta. At the end other victories of
Menephtah are glanced at, and it is said that 'the Israelites (I-s-y-r-a-e-l-u)
are minished (?) so that they have no seed.' Menephtah was son and successor of
Rameses II., the builder of Pithom, and Egyptian scholars have long seen in him
the Pharaoh of the Exodus. The Exodus is also placed in his reign by the
Egyptian legend of the event preserved by the historian Manetho. In the
inscription the name of the Israelites has no determinative of 'country' or
'district' attached to it, as is the case with all the other names (Canaan,
Ashkelon, Gezer, Khar or Southern Palestine, etc.) mentioned along with it, and
it would therefore appear that at the time the hymn was composed, the
Israelites had already been lost to the sight of the Egyptians in the desert.
At all events they must have had as yet no fixed home or district of their own.
We may therefore see in the reference to them the Pharaoh's version of the
Exodus, the disasters which befell the Egyptians being naturally passed over in
silence, and only the destruction of the 'men children' of the Israelites being
recorded. The statement of the Egyptian poet is a remarkable parallel to Ex.
1:10-22."

I really dont need to get into a debate with you over this. My above sources of information from the various places should be enough.
Now your fallacy is that your building your thoery of the Bible being in error by referring to one-source, thats quite foolish, i've given you more than one source now that shows Pharoah was the title of the kings of Egypt ... so i suggest you do some better research. Nevertheless, heres more sources incase your skeptical still...
Encyclopedia: Pharaoh
Pharaoh is a title used to refer to the kings (of godly status) in ancient Egypt. See History of Egypt. See also monarch. The term derives from the words pr-o, meaning Great House. It was not commonly used by the Egyptians themselves to refer to their monarchs, but is frequently used by modern historians due to its use in the Bible, especially the Book of Exodus.
NB: the dates given must be regarded in most instances as approximate.
Dating systems for Egyptian studies are quite various, depending on how they are constructed and what assumptions are used.
What is presented below is one such interpretation, but it is assuredly not the only one.

Unless your going to provide me with MORE THAN FOUR different sources that back up your claim, please dont waste your time here, your really talking to a brick wall. Post up more than 4 different sources like i have and your references for them too, and we'll discuss further ok?
