Cyber Day 1

A. Describe the social hierachy and of the ancient Egyptians.  

   As everyone knows, during the ancient Egypt Pharaoh was a king and also god of Egyptian. There was also hierarchy for the society. This social position is given when there were born.
Pharaoh-government officials-soldiers-scribes-merchant-artisans-farmers-slaves and servants. This is order of ancient Egypt's hierarchy and they had to follow it.
   Pharaoh was obeyed by everyone in the Egypt and considered to be a man given power by the god. Pharaoh's mission was to control the whole country like as normal king, but they had awesome responsibility and power. Priest, physicians, and engineers are the government officials. They are also called " white kilt" because they wear only bright colors. Soldiers were third class. They invented chariots to be stronger and also they were the first one who used wooden weapons. For the scribes they wrote down useful information. They kept records, told stories, wrote poetry, described anatomy and medical information. Merchant used money/barter system and invented coinage to buy and sell something wisely. Their mission was to get profit for the Egypt. Artisans would carve statues and relief showing military battles and scenes in the afterlife. They were more likely to sculptures. Some of them carved in the pyramids. Farmers raised wheat, barley, lentils, onions. They benifitted from irrigation of the Nile and naturally well-informed about Nile. It provides good quality of soil on September and it floods on June. For the last, slaves and servants didnt live hardly. They helped the wealthy with household and childraising.
   As I wrote, there were hierarchy for ancient Egypt society and there were duties for each position. Ultimately everythings were for their Pharaoh and their afterlife.

B.Discuss the importance of the Nile river in the lives of Egyptians.
 
  Ancient Egypt was around Nile river so it was most important place for ancient Egyptians. It determined their lives. But using this river wisely they usually get advantage. Farmers were well-informed about Nile. If it floods the water destroyed all the crops and mess up soil. Otherwise if it provides moderate water then they got extravagant profit from harvest. They pray to the god for the good harvest every year. They invented calender to predict when does the Nile floods usually. It floods in June and provides fertile soil in September. There is place called delta. It is triangle shaped and has much more fertile soil there.
