Ancient Egyptian society was organized into a hierarchical structure, with the pharaoh at the top and farmers, laborers, and slaves at the bottom. The government was centralized and the pharaoh held absolute power, believed to be a divine ruler. The pharaoh's role was to ensure harmony and stability in the kingdom, both in the mortal world and the afterlife. The government officials, known as viziers, assisted the pharaoh in governing, managing taxes, and overseeing various administrative tasks. The society also had a strong focus on religion, with temples and priests playing a significant role in daily life. The economy was primarily agrarian, with farming being the main source of livelihood for the majority of the population. Trade and international relations were also important, with Egypt being a wealthy and influential civilization that engaged in commercial exchanges with neighboring countries and kingdoms.
