Assignment

The Social Hierarchy of egypt was very simple. Ironically, you could even assemble it into a pyramid. Basically, I'll start out at the bottom. At the lowest of the lowest was the slaves, which did as their name suggest, slave work and intense work that was forceful. Above the slaves you had the farmers, which are normal civillians that just farm and go throughout their daily life. They would usually farm near the Nile River as this had the best soil. Above the farmers were Craftsmen, which made extremely useful things for the village/town.
 
         The craftsmen would make things such as urns and containers for things like grain and this was important for growth in Egypt. Above the craftsmen were soldiers which were well respected as they fought off the enemy and protected Egypt. There are many painting of soldiers and their chariots and they usually look brave and calm, as the people support them and like them. Above the soldiers were scribes which recorded extremely important things like the lives of pharaohs or other important events in Egypt. It was also important because this layed the foundation for many future generations as they wrote on something similair to paper called Papyrus

           Now on the top of the pyramid we're getting to Nobles and Priest. These guys were respected for their obvious wealth and holdings or in the priest case because they can communicate to the gods. Above these two is the Vizier which is an extremely high ranking politican. And we've got the big guy, the Phaoraoh which controls everything and is believed to be a demi god or able to communicate with the gods.

The Nile River was extremely important to Egyptian life as it not only provided sustinence for their daily life but also for crops and other things. The nile river was the main source of water and everything else around it was basically arid desert. This called for basically a line of villages and towns only to be formed near the Nile river.
 
     Every once in a while the Nile River would flood and the Egyptians made calendars based after this as they would know when the River would flood or when sometimes it would dry up. This also allowed the Egyptians to have a better sense of time overall and this was a great improvement in the step to humanity's development.  This was a great thing and I will talk about the Nile river's flooding more in next.

    Basically what the flooding also did was make the Egyptians invent a way to protect their crops from flooding. They knew when it was going to flood, so what were they going to do about it? This made the Egyptians invent irrigation, a way to use the flood water to help their crops or flood somewhere else away from them. This was a great advance in agriculture and it was an important step.
