Ancient Egypt And The Egyptian Empire

The people groups in ancient Egyptian were very different than our societies social groups today. Ancient Egyptians were grouped in a hierarchical system with the Pharaoh at the top and farmers and slaves at the bottom. The groups of people nearest to the top of society were the richest and most powerful. The Pharaoh was believed to be a god on earth and had the most power. He was responsible for making laws and keeping order. Ensuring that Egypt was not attacked or invaded by enemies and for keeping the gods happy so that the Nile flooded and there was a good harvest. The Vizier was the Pharaoh's chief advisor

After the two kingdoms were united, they became a lot more organized and over the years developed a system of what is called a ‘hierarchy’. This was a class system and each person living in ancient Egypt knew where they existed in the system and had specific rights of that class. The Egyptian hierarchy was a lot like the pyramids that they built. At the very top of this social structure were the pharaoh and their gods. Since the pharaoh was thought to be a god, he took his place next to all of the others.

Some key points of this paper are going to be about the development of civilization, geography, social structure, Hierarchy, and where the Ancient Egyptian civilization began.

The Ancient Egypt Empire held a very fascinating, distinctive culture. Being one of the world 's most advanced cultures and creating tons of wealth is what separated them from everybody else.

Primarily, the success of the Egyptian civilization is accredited to the presence of pharaohs. A pharaoh is the head of the government and high priest of every temple and is considered to be half god and half human.

Citizens of Egypt looked to the pharaoh to ensure their well-being. They wanted the pharaoh to keep the gods happy so the Nile would flood and there would be a bountiful harvest. Pharaohs also had to maintain and strengthen the army to defend the country from outside threats and internal difficulties. In terms of political structure, the ancient Egyptian government is mainly focused on and is controlled by the pharaohs. The government brought order to society through laws, taxes, the organization of labor, trade, defense, and temples.

Because of the Pharaoh’s contributions and necessity in maintaining stability, they sit atop the pyramid of social class. They are on top of the pyramid of social hierarchy because they do a lot for their people and thereby hold great significance to the populous.
