Pharaoh Finder

Identify Egyptian Pharaohs from Hieroglyphs - Instantly

Pharaoh Finder is a powerful education and reference app that helps you identify ancient Egyptian Pharaohs from cartouches and royal names, even if you can’t read hieroglyphs.

Used by students, educators, Major Museum Staff and Egyptology enthusiasts, Pharaoh Finder turns complex royal titulary into a fast, visual discovery experience.

No memorization. No guesswork.
