DAILY LIFE

Life of an Egyptian was hard for most people. Many people had to help build the absolutely huge pyramids and underground rooms below the pyramids. The social pyramid was commonly used to show people the Egyptians place in Egypt. The pharaoh, obviously, was at the top of the social pyramid and under was the government officials and the soldiers. Then it went down to the scribes, the merchants, the artisans, and at the very bottom were the peasants, farmers, and the enslaved people. The social pyramid was a really good help for people to show what "section" they were in and how special they were.
