#KingForADay
Okay, okay, everyone settle down! Today is the day! I, Ramses, am about to become Pharaoh! Can you believe it?
I know, I know, I gotta be all serious and kingly or whatever, but first, #SelfieTime! This is, like, a super important moment, right? I have to document it.
(Clicks phone) There! Perfect. Pyramid in the background, desert sun shining... I look pretty good in this headdress, don’t you think? My mom picked it out. She has great taste!
#CoronationDay #PharaohInTheMaking
I can hear the priests chanting already. Soon, I'll be sitting on that big throne, wearing the double crown, and making speeches about how awesome Egypt is going to be under my rule. #NoPressure
But first, one more selfie with my best friend, Ameni! (calls out) Ameni! Get over here!
(More clicks) Alright, gotta go. Duty calls and I heard they're having a huge feast after the ceremony. I hope they have figs. I love figs!
Wish me luck! #RamsesRules #EgyptForever
