The Pharaohs of Egypt were originally from Egypt and remained so for many hundreds of years. Eventually, some of the ruling families came to have roots in the lands south of Egypt, now called The Sudan.

From the time Alexander the great conquered Egypt until the Roman Civil War that brought Augustus to power, the rulers of Egypt were descended from Greek and Macedonian families, but they were then called Ptolemy or Cleopatra, the term Pharaoh falling out of fashion.
