in ancient Egypt.

Answer 1

The society of the Egyptians was structured in a way similar to the pyramid. The kings known as the Pharaohs came after the gods. The structure of statehood and a wealthy diversified society occurred in ancient Egypt in several ways. The Pharaoh's appointed a chief minister that ensured that taxes were collected from the peasants and the farmers. The chief minister worked collaboratively with the scribes who were entrusted with the keeping of the government records. The Pharaohs also worked together with the priests and the nobles. The nobles were allowed to hold the government positions, and they benefitted greatly from this since they gained profits from the tributes made to their kings. The priests assisted in pleasing the gods while the nobles grew wealthier from the gifts dedicated to the gods.
