The Structure of Ancient Egyptian Society
Ancient Egypt had a highly organized society. Its structure began to emerge in the Old Dynasty with upper and lower classes of people. As this great kingdom developed, a middle class of craftsmen emerged. Throughout its history, it was difficult, but not impossible, to move between the classes. The separate classes of people remained consistent throughout ancient Egypt's history.
The royal family was the highest level of ancient Egyptian society. The pharaoh, his wives, and children comprised the royalty of society. They lived among many palaces and enjoyed the finest of foods and clothing. Even within the royal family there were levels of status. The ancient Egyptians believed their pharaoh was the incarnation of the god, Horus. This gave the pharaoh the highest status in society. One of his wives was favoured, and she was often referred to as the "Great Royal Wife". Her children were the elite of the royal family and her eldest son was successor to the position of pharaoh. Other male members of the royal family were given high-level positions in the government to help them retain their status in society.
The noblemen occupied the next level of society. They lived in close proximity to the palaces of the royal family. Their large, lavish estates provided them with the wealth to give their families the best life had to offer. There was always enough food, and they wore luxurious, finely constructed clothing. Noblemen held high-level government positions, the premier of which was the vizier (similar to prime minister). Noble boys were able to attend school, and the eldest son usually inherited his father's position. Younger sons were able to use their education to obtain other government positions or become scribes.
Scribes made up the next level of society. Scribes were learned men who had been trained in the art of hieroglyphics. This complicated way of writing was taught in the schools of Egypt. It took five years of training to master the seven hundred symbols used in hieroglyphics. Scribes were honoured and respected, and they held to a high moral standard. A scribe was in a position of importance and supervised the work of others. They were free from paying taxes and participating in manual labour. Some scribes became priests, minor officials in the government, or teachers.
Craftsmen were the middle class of ancient Egypt. Their work was very important in society. They were artisans and weavers. Craftsmen made bricks, pottery, and worked with metals. They were responsible for food preparation and brewed the beer, a favourite drink in ancient Egypt. Leather for sandals, baskets, jewellery, and woodworking were all made by craftsmen. Their lives were comfortable even though they were thought to be of a lower class. Craftsmen's sons could attend school and become a scribe. Through apprenticeships with craftsmen, lower classes of people could move into a better life.
