The social classes of ancient Egypt are often illustrated with the shape of a pyramid (a 3-dimensional triangle) because ancient Egypt is closely associated with pyramids and because it is convenient to describe the class arrangement using a triangular figure - lots of people on the bottom, fewer in the middle ranks, very few on top, and the Pharaoh at the very peak.

Social classes appeared in the Old Kingdom of Egypt because of religion. The religion allowed people who were in more contact with the gods to be more powerful.
