What did the Egyptians call them?
Directly below the Pharaoh were the Viziers, a term from which the modern word "advisor" draws upon.
I'm cool with that, of others are. Or if there are other suggestions, we can put it to vote.
The Vizier, in ancient Egypt, was akin to our Grand Luxarch, the next in power to the Pharaoh, followed by the Chief Treasurer, and the Chief of the Armies.
The Court Vizier was the chief advisor to a king.
Yes, there is nothing in Egypt that can be directly equated to a council of our style.
Egypt was governed by an absolute monarchy. There were no legislative bodies. Name the period, Sumerians, Persians, Babylonians. Desert countries in North Africa, the Middle and Near East are top down dictatorships. Look at it now. Nothing has changed. Israel and Iraq appear to be the only two states that democratic forms of government.
A Nomarch was a provincial governor in ancient Egypt; the country was divided into 42 provinces, called Nomes. A Nomarch was the government official responsible for a Nome.
I'll put it to a poll
Wonderful!
