Question

Trade brought wealth to a culture. In 100 to 150 words, write about at least two advancements that wealth brought to ancient Egypt, and explain what impact these advancements had on the culture.

Answer 1

With the amount of wealth that trade brought in to the economy and into general ancient Egyptian culture, many achievements were made possible, including the beginnings of modern medicine, and disease treatment and prevention as well as the development of an independent, widespread writing system. The beginnings of medicine and anatomical knowledge, most obviously, greatly assisted the infamous mummification process and allowed it to become the religious staple of their time. The creation and implementation of the hieroglyphical writing style also assisted in the creation of various influential religious documents as well as the beginnings of effective taxation of the population, and the creation of administrative positions solely responsible for recording things like this.
