The farmers farmed the land, the priests ran the religion, the pharaohs ruled assisted by the nobility, the wormen bore and raised children and worked on the farms, and the slaves worked for them all.
As far as we know, they did not a standardized medium of exchange- that is Money. The Egyptian kingdom operated on a moneyless economy- though they did have a slave system ( possibly prisoners of war or of criminal cases) and a rigid caste structure- nothing along the lines of coinage, paper money- gold or silver ingots- or anything resembling Banks or Mints- have ever been recovered or dug up- in a country as thoroughly explored by archaeologists as Egypt. another oddity was they did not draw in perspective, despite the fact the Pyramid is one of the 5 Platonic solids! My Dad, who had some background as an art student, could never figure this one out!
In ancient times, the simple Varna system had degenerated into a rigid caste system. The high-caste Hindus developed hatred for the low-caste people, most of whom were branded as the Shudras or the Untouchables who were subjected to abject humiliation, suffering and misery. They were even not allowed to draw water from the public wells or to visit temples.
The varnas system in ancient India developed as a socio-economic classification that categorized society into four main groups: Brahmins (priests and scholars), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (merchants and landowners), and Shudras (laborers and service providers). Its origins can be traced back to the Vedic texts, where it was initially based on occupational roles and duties, rather than rigid social hierarchies. Over time, the system became more stratified and hereditary, leading to the complex caste system seen in later Indian society. This evolution was influenced by factors such as economic changes, invasions, and the consolidation of power among different groups.
The original purpose of the class system imposed by the Aryans, known as the Varna system, was to organize society based on occupational roles and responsibilities. It divided people into four primary categories: Brahmins (priests and scholars), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (traders and agriculturists), and Shudras (laborers and service providers). This hierarchical structure aimed to ensure social order and stability, facilitating the efficient functioning of society as it evolved. Over time, however, it became rigid and contributed to social stratification and inequality.
Egypt today has no rigid social structure. However, there is certainly an entitled wealthy class and the lower class of working poor which predominates in most developing nations, for which Egypt is no exception.
It is because of the Nile River, they that it was a God. ;) lol jk What I meant was that the pharaoh kept it stable.
Ancient Egypt had three main social classes--upper, middle, and lower. The upper class consisted of the royal family, rich landowners, government officials, important priests and army officers, and doctors. ... Ancient Egypt's class system was not rigid. People in the lower or middle class could move to a higher position.
This is a statement. A statement can't be answered.

Both ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia had well-defined social hierarchies characterized by a stratified structure. In Egypt, society was typically organized with the pharaoh at the top, followed by priests, scribes, artisans, and farmers, while Mesopotamia featured a similar hierarchy with kings, priests, and nobles at the top, followed by merchants and laborers. Both civilizations emphasized the importance of religion and governance, which reinforced the power of the elite. However, social mobility was more pronounced in Mesopotamia, where trade and commerce allowed for some upward movement, unlike the more rigid stratification in Egypt.
Sparta was a city-state in ancient Greece. One of the things it's well-known for is its rigid social structure. The main religion practiced in Sparta was Greek Polytheism.
During the postclassical era in India, the caste system was primarily a rigid social system. It was characterized by strict social hierarchy and limited social mobility based on birth. This rigid structure was reinforced by religious beliefs and societal norms.
Each social division is called a caste.
