I looked at the moderation notes, and the reason for "rachef" is wrong.

In ancient Egyptian, the deity's name was put first in the spelling of the throne name (as you can see in the name of almost EVERY pharaoh) but pronounced last. In the cases where the deity at the end of the name was not Ra, the deity is still written first.

This understanding was developed through reading material other than the heiroglyphs, including letters to and about various pharaohs to other kings. They don't spell Ramesses as "MosesRa" or in their messages.

So far, Khufu is untouched but perhaps a discussion needs to be opened about this topic.

The "rachef/raufu" concept is touted by someone who has proclaimed himself the greatest living etymologist of semitic languages ... in spite of the fact that he speaks English only and is not able to read either hieroglyphs, cuneiform, or Hebrew script.
