Yes, these are named just like all the other cards (The Fool, The Magician, etc.). They use chalices instead of cups (not really a difference). Each one was drawn to be as historically real as possible. The Major Arcana each represent someone.
The Fool - Aken-Aton
The Magician - Sethi I
The High Priestess - Tuya
The Empress - Nefertari
The Emperor - Ramses II
The Hierophant - Nebunenef
The Lovers - Lovers
The Chariot - Menna
Justice - Maat-hor-neferu-Re
The Hermit - Khaemwese
The Wheel - Heb-Sed
Strength - Bent-Anat
The Hanged Man - Hemew
Death - Osiris-Nefertari
Temperance - Hathor-Nefertari
The Devil - Seth
The Tower - Ramesseum
The Stars - Isis-Sothis
The Moon - Opet
The Sun - Merenptah
Judgement - Moses
The World - Shen
I think I have to look over in my Who's Who in Egyptian Mythology book to get a better understanding of some of these people. I know of some, but my studies haven't covered all of them yet. I think the history of each one would help me learn these cards as well.

Yes, this should be an interesting study. Especially since it sort of revolves around part of my belief system and something that I enjoy. I think these cards sort of tie it all together. And these cards were nicer than the other Egyptian sets I've seen (those were just symbols and stuff...didn't really have a lot of imagery).
