I would have said Mesopotamia but you asked for simple ideas so I gave a
dumbed down answer based on your desired level of knowledge (ie Asterix
Books).
The Pharaoh makes Esrolia Egyptian perception has long been a problem
such that Greg doesn't like it. The word appears only once in History
of the Heortling Peoples despite a large part of that book being about
the Heortland under the Pharaoh (most of the time God-King is used
instead).
