Priests are often considered higher on the social pyramid than merchants or farmers due to their role as spiritual leaders and intermediaries between the divine and the community. They are associated with religious authority, which often grants them significant influence and respect in society. This elevated status can stem from the belief that they possess special knowledge or powers, which can be crucial for maintaining social order and cultural cohesion. Additionally, in many cultures, religious institutions historically wielded considerable political and economic power, further enhancing the priests' social standing.
