In the social pyramid of ancient Egypt the pharaoh and those associated with divinity were at the top, and servants and slaves made up the bottom. The Egyptians also elevated some human beings to gods. Their leaders, called pharaohs, were believed to be gods in human form
The answer about the social structure of ancient Egypt is explained below.
Explanation:
Ancient Egypt consisted of people who were grouped in a hierarchical system. There were six layers in that hierarchy. The structure is described below:
Pharaoh: He was the political or religious leader of the people, and was placed at the top of the hierarchical structure.
Vizier: He was the main or chief adviser of the Pharaoh. He looked after all the administrative matters. He was a bridge between the lower and the upper level. This was the second level of the hierarchy.
Nobles and Priests: These were the people responsible for making the laws and to keep the Gods happy. This was the third level of the hierarchy.
Scribes and Soldiers: These were the people who could read and write and usually kept records of things like food produced, harvest time, etc. This was the fourth level of the hierarchy.
Craftsmen: These were the people who were highly skilled in their area of expertise. Shoe makers, leather makers, sculptors, weavers, painters, tailors, etc were in this level. This was the fifth level of the hierarchy.
Farmers: These were the people at the lowest level in the hierarchy, who used to work on the lands of the people belonging to the top most levels in the hierarchy and in return, they were given food and clothes. They were considered the slaves.
Each year 100 million people in the U.S. donate an estimated three hours per week to help a charitable cause. That works out to about 7.5 million full-time volunteers that help a good cause.
