The Culture Of Ancient Egypt In The Early Years

Ancient Egypt was a thriving culture for over 3,000 years.
In the early years there were two kingdoms that operated like two different countries.
Each one had a ruler of their own and their own religious beliefs of methods of doing things.
Over the years they have developed a system called “hierarchy”.
The gods were thought to be in control of the flooding of the Nile each year, as well as death and famine.
Since farmers had to pay taxes every year, they paid in amounts of grain instead of money.
The vizier watched over tax collection and monitored the government records that were kept by the scribes.
The soldiers fought in the armies during wartime but in peacetime many supervised the peasants, slaves and farmers and were also part of

The bottom of the social class included the farmers and beneath them, the slaves.
The Pharaoh was at the top, then the Viziers, High Priests and Nobles, Officials and Scribes, Craftsmans and lastly, farmers and slaves.
The slaves were people that have been war prisoners or criminals.
“Slavery became a major part of ancient Egyptian community and they were forced to do whatever labor that was needed by the nobles and the Pharaoh.”
Some farmers or peasants saved money to send their own children to get a better education on a specific trade.
It wasn’t common for girls to go to school, but some attended and became physicians.
A higher class meant more money and could help their families.
