The Ancient Egypt Government was ruled by the Pharaoh was the king who speaks to the gods also he doesn't just rule the government he rules the religion.he couldn't rule all by himself so he hired a bunch of rulers and leaders that are below him who also ran the government.

They were so religious that they built temples. They would also perform ceremonies so that ancient Egypt would not fall into chaos. How does complex religion tie into well-organized government? Every government has a pharaoh and in the religious perspective, the pharaoh is also a god. The people of ancient Egypt would treat him like a god and worshiped him.

The Pharaoh was also the Chief Manager of the land. A Vizier was kind of like a Prime Minister. The rest of the Officials reported to the Vizier. The most famous Vizier in Ancient Egypt was Imhotep, who was actually the first Vizier ever. The reason Imhotep was so popular was that he architected the first pyramid.

also people in charge of different things like there were people in charge of buildings that is there people in charge of the army. Jobs In Egypt they had a lot of Different jobs. The had people that would have a farm the would be people the would be in the army there would be people that would make things.

Pharaoh was thought to be one of the gods, but also human. He had control of the entire Egyptian kingdom. The Pharaoh was believed to be a God on earth and had the most power. His job was to make laws and keep order, He made sure that Egypt was not attacked or invaded by enemies.

Egyptians worshipped the Pharaohs, they believed that they gave life to Egypt and its’ people. They put great effort into making sure that their soles survived after death. After death the Pharaohs became divine, identified with Osiris (the god of the underworld and father of Horus). The Pharaoh was the political leader of the Egyptians, holding the titles: ‘Lord of the two lands’ and ‘highest priest of every temple’. They were half-human and half-god.

Government and Religion were inseparable , the Pharaoh lead the Government and represented the Gods in Human form. the egyptian people would also use temples to worship Gods on a daily basis. The society was built on order, law and defending the country for the people, and to make sure they were taken care of. The hierarchy enabled Egypt to create stability and organization, from the Pharaoh to the farmers for 3000 years.

Ancient Egyptians had social classes your job depended on your class. In Ancient Egypt the Pharaoh was at the tippy top of the social classes and then government officials like priests and nobles, then after them, soldiers of the army were the third social class. After soldiers scribes who worked for the government and the merchants. Artisans one of the lower social classes like the farmers then the lowest were slaves and servants. Also, people who marry in their same social group usually stay in the same social group forever. Everyone wore jewelry to worn off injury or evil, but the high social classes got gold and silver and electrum and inlaid with semi-precious stones of turquoise, lapis lazuli, and carnelian. The poorer people wore jewelry

Everyone was told to believe that the pharaoh was a god that gave him his place on the pyramid with the gods and the goddesses. Next, there was the Vizier. The Vizier watched over tax collection and the government records that were kept by the scribes. After that, there were scribes, craftsmen and, traders. Finally, the lowest social class was the farmers and even below them were the slaves and the peasants.

The people groups in ancient Egyptian were very different than our societies social groups today. Ancient Egyptians were grouped in a hierarchical system with the Pharaoh at the top and farmers and slaves at the bottom. The groups of people nearest to the top of society were the richest and most powerful. The Pharaoh was believed to be a god on earth and had the most power. He was responsible for making laws and keeping order. Ensuring that Egypt was not attacked or invaded by enemies and for keeping the gods happy so that the Nile flooded and there was a good harvest. The Vizier was the Pharaoh's chief advisor

The Ancient Egyptians government would be compared to as a kind of monarchy. Their King was called the Pharaoh and everyone in the civilization listened to everything that he said. Every Law and Business transaction went through this man. In our day we have only one leader but thousands of others that decide the laws of our country. We also have a vice president in America, if I had to pick a person to be the vice president of a Pharaoh in Egypt it would be the man called the vizier's. He was also well respected in the community and mostly was involved in the business aspect of the Pharaoh's job. The people of the Egyptian community really had no influence in the pharaoh's decisions, unlike America where we vote on all of our government officials. We also have people that don't allow our president to gain too much power, Unlike the Egyptians, where the Pharaoh had all the power in the community.

They were to tell problems to the king and assist the king. The second job of the priests is to please the gods. They also had to make the king happy. The nobles had to collect information and status reports on the villages and on war. This is the first egypt social class.

To begin with, Egypt was a civilization and that's a fact. Egypt had everything they needed to be a civilization including the 7 indicator of civilization. There are many things to learn about Egyptian government like the roles in government, how it works, and who runs it. There are not many roles in the government but here are the few that I found. The first role was the pharaohs role.

The Egyptian society is much like ours in that the people are split into social classes. The highest being the pharaoh, the royal family, high priests and noblemen. The second class is the artisans, shop owners, scribes, and famers. The lowest and final class is the peasants. The largest was the middle class just like our society.
