Egyptian Society

Ancient Egyptian society was hierarchically structured, with the Pharaoh at the top, regarded as a divine ruler. Below him were officials, priests, and scribes who managed governance, religion, and administration. Skilled artisans and merchants formed the middle class, contributing to trade and craftsmanship. Farmers and laborers made up the bulk of the population, working the land and building monumental structures. Society was heavily influenced by religious beliefs, with temples and rituals central to daily life. Though stratified, Egyptians valued order and stability, ensuring cooperation across classes to sustain the civilization's achievements.
