Best Answer

There have been women who have been dressed up as men to be pharaoh, but, there never has been a pharaoh recognised as a women, if you know what I mean. Although women like Queen Nefertiti was as close to a pharaoh as any other women has ever been. The reason why is that Akhenaten her husband had a great love for her and let her do things pharaoh's would usually do eg. visit the temple to worship Aten without Akhenaten there. you guys should reaserch Queen Nefertiti, she's awesome

A pharaoh was A living God. So yes. Pharaoh had a lot of male and female servants. And everyone in his court was loyal to his wishes. While I can't prove it.

What are some of Egyptian positions a Egyptian might have?

There are many jobs for Egyptians that can fit for just about any person. There was the occupation of a slave, of course, but they could be set free. There were jobs that both women and men could have, such as running businesses and farming. Women also sometimes watched over the slaves. There were scribes, who recorded history for the pharaoh. Then there were priests and nobles, the other people who served the pharaoh, and of course, the pharaoh and his queen. I've only listed a few of the possible occupations in Egypt, so don't go around saying this is all they could do. Really. Don't. Hope this helped!
