How did the people live together in Egypt?

Answer 1

Egyptian society was oriented around the River Nile, which was used for transportation, watering the crops, and as a site for prayer (since the river was essential to the lives of Egyptians, many regarded it as a sacred place, and some believed a goddess named Anuket preserved and maintained the river). Egyptian society was ruled by a leader called a Pharaoh (who was like a king or queen), and there were definite social classes. For example, upper class people dressed in beautifully-made clothing that was superior in quality to what the poor had; the wealthy also wore jewelry and amulets that were supposed to bring good fortune. Many wealthy people had servants or slaves to work on their land, and the poor had few ways to move up in the society. The Egyptians were polytheists, and worshiped a number of gods and goddesses; they also believed in life after death, and made elaborate preparations so that they would be ready for the next world after they died.
