ESSAY A: Egypt's social hierarchy was very organized and put together. You could see how high up they were based on their clothing. The lowest people in Ancient Egypt were the slaves and servants. They helped the wealthy with chores. Next was the farmers. The farmers raised wheat, barley, onions, and cattle. The Nile had a big impact on the farmers, they used the Nile to help get fertile land for their crops.

 Then the artisans which were the people who did arts and crafts. They would help with building statues and reliefs showing things in the afterlife. Egypt's statues are big remarkable structures that would require a lot of time and effort, like the great sphinx. Higher than the artisans were merchants who were in charge of money and currensy. Later over the years coinage came about. The use of coins changed Egypt a lot and mostly the use of trade. The scribes wrote scrolls and kept records of their history and told stories, they wrote hieroglyphs.

The soldiers were really high in ranking of Ancient Egypt. They would hunt and do other jobs for the city. The soldiers had wooden weapons with bronze tips and rode in chariots. Above them were priests who were actually a huge part of society back then. Last were the pharaohs (AKA "Lord of the two lands" and "high priests of every temple"), They were the religious and political leaders. They were the most powerful man on earth to there city .

ESSAY B:  Upper Egypt was a 5000 mile long strip of fertile land along the Nile. Lower Egypt was the wide land of the Nile delta, emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile could give them water for drinking, irrigation, bathing, and transportation. The Egyptians created sail boats to go with the Nile for easy transportation, the sails were created so that they could go where they wanted to
The Nile would provide and help the Egyptians with the gain of food.

The Nile always seemed to flood and change at the right times and the Egyptians benefited from it. Every July it floods and in October it would leave behind rich soil. The Egyptians would use the rich soil  to plant crops.

 Controlling the Nile required technological breakthroughs in irrigation. The Nile River flows south to north and has a delta at the top. The delta is a broad and marshy triangular area of fertile silt. The river eventually flowed into the Mediterranean sea.
