Nobles And Priests In Ancient Egypt

On top of the "Social Pyramid," which is about all the classes rated high to low, is the Pharoh. Which was the ruler of Egypt. (Pharaoh already did in government.) Nobles and priests were under the Pharaohs. Nobles were to make sure taxes were collected and to watch and supervise the king's tomb in Vally of the Kings. Priests performed ceremonies at all temples through Egypt. Priests usually pass down their job to their son. Soldiers were under the Nobles and Priests. They were in the Egyptian army. It was well organized. It included infantry and chariot troops. When they're in peace time, soldiers work on government projects. Under the soldiers were scribes. People who were scribes are lucky. There were the only people who knew how to write.
