List of fictional Pharaohs

 * Akmenrah is the Pharaoh of the book and movie Night at the Museum. Once freed from his mummy wrappings, Akmenrah proves to be a handsome and charming young man. He is very intelligent and speaks many languages, including modern English and the tongue of the Hun people. He may have been inspired by Egyptian from Ancient History, perhaps Tutankhamon.
