The reason Pharaohs wore fake beards

Have you ever noticed that pharaohs always have a beard ? This is called a false beard . In real-life, most Egyptian men were clean- shaven, but pharaohs , even the female ones, wore fake beards .

The main reason that Egyptian pharaohs wore false beards was because beards were associated with divinity in Egyptian culture and religion.
