Island Pharaohs again, twice

Just yesterday, I posted "Mang the Bat, and the splendor of the Island Pharaohs." In that post, I took "the Island Pharaohs" (from a dream) to be a reference to the rulers of Numenor, taking it for granted that of course the real Pharaohs, who lived on the African mainland, had nothing to do with islands. In the dream, these Island Pharaohs were "desiccated mummies," and to illustrate what I imagined them looking like, I included this picture of Keith Richards and Ramesses II.

Today I had a private tutoring session with an adult student. She uses a magazine designed for students of English, with a recommended reading schedule. However, due to some recent business trips and such, we're way behind schedule, so as it happened today -- the day after I posted about Island Pharaohs, with a photo of Ramesses II -- we discussed the article for January 15-17. Here's the first page:

The first thing that caught my eye was the illustration in the upper right corner, which is a statue of none other than Ramesses II.

This same Pharaoh's name also appears in the text, in boldface, in connection with an island:

On Agilkia Island, I'd continue toward Abu Simbel, home to giant statues and temples built by Ramses II.

I'd never heard of Agilkia, but apparently it's an island in the Nile. Ramesses never built anything there; rather, according to Wikipedia, it is "the present site of the relocated ancient Egyptian temple complex of Philae."

Two paragraphs later, there is a reference to the Greek island of Paros:

The Greek islands have been on my radar primarily because I have a friend in Athens. I love the idea of skipping Santorini and Mykonos and opting for low-key Paros.

Paros is pretty close to Pharaohs, especially if you consider that the Hebrews and the Egyptians themselves pronounced that title with a hard /p/ rather than an /f/ sound. The word translated "Pharaoh" in our Bibles is transliterated as Parʿō.
