I thought Ozymandias had a TV show in the 50s...

:’)

After they got going, early in the dynastic period, but not at the very beginning of it, the pharaohs sported five different names, called the fivefold titulary. Wow, that sounds dirty. I’d have to steal some info about the meaning of the names, since I’m not sure where the Quirke book is. ;’) Anyway, thanks (link had another link):

I wish I could take credit for all this arcane knowledge, but frankly, until I googled “Ozymandias” and hit on the site, I had no idea that Ramses II had any connection with the name or that his statuary was the origen of the idea for the poem.

(I shouldn’t have admitted that and everyone would have thought I was a genius.)
