Ancient Egyptian society was very much like our
society today. They had a person that was above all else,
called a Pharaoh. The Pharaoh was the ruler of all, and
the Egyptians believed their Pharaoh's to be holy. Then
you had those who worked closely in the government, as
well as the soldiers who fought in war. Society trickled
down all the way to those enslaved and those who were
servants. The people who were enslaved were at the
bottom of the barrel. They were poor and treated
inadequately, as they were often subject to working on
building structures such as the pyramids. A surprising
fact about Ancient Egyptian history is that women were
treated equally. They had the same basic rights as men
did, and you did not see this often in other cultures in
history. They could own property, be in the company of
men, and even divorce and remarry if they chose to do
so. There were several rulers of Egypt who were
women, including Nefertiti and Hatshepsut. A practice
of Pharaohs was that they often chose their spouses
within the royal family, which means that they were
3
often related to one another. If you look back in history,
you will see that Hatshepsut's spouse was actually her
half brother. Cleopatra is the most famous of female
Egyptian rulers. She became ruler as a teen, battled
many assassination attempts, as well as having several
children. She regained her throne with the help of
Julius Cesar. Ancient Egyptian society was advanced
for the time period in which it existed. Not only did they

4. build elaborate tombs and structures, but there are also
depictions of simple things like partaking in board
games. These board games would not be anything like
what we see today, however, board games were popular
among all social classes in Ancient Egyptian society.
