In the beginning, royalty gets to be royalty by lopping off a few crucial heads where it will do them the most good, and by raising (read: paying or promising spoils to) loyal armies to vanquish their rivals, such as Lancastrian Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, who defeated Yorkist King Richard III of England at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 to become King Henry VII.

After that, it's largely a matter of dynastic succession: ensuring a string of healthy male heirs surrounded by loyal courtiers who'll make sure that the Crown survives domestic intrigues, foreign invasions, or the Crown's own foreign adventurism.

And a having a ruthless secret police to enforce the Crown's wishes doesn't hurt, either.

It's the silliness of people believing one or a group is more special than the rest. This is a very ancient tradition that goes back far beyond written history. Whether you like the royals or not the titles are here to stay, because there will always be a group of ego maniacs born on the planet.

Titles were given to people by other people. Titles are in fact man made. Some were given to people by the pope, others just crowned themselves, like Napoleon did.

The temple became equipped in Jerusalem. It became proper the position the Muslims have their temple now. once you spot a image of the Gold-topped construction in Jerusalem, it became proper the position that construction sits in the present day. seems, it became considered a holy position for both Islam, and Christianity (and Judaism)
