Egyptian civilization - Government

In ancient Egypt, religion and religion were inseparable. Pharaoh is the head of state and the sacred representative of the gods on earth. Religion and government build temples, establish laws, taxation, labor organizations, trade with neighboring countries, protect national interests and bring order to society. Pharaoh is assisted by a series of consultants, pastors, officials and administrators responsible for the state affairs and the well-being of the people.

Without the cooperation of people of all levels, it is impossible for ancient Egypt to achieve this stability and magnificence. Pharaoh is the top of the social stratum. Next to him, the most powerful official is the bureaucratic minister and chief executive. Below that there is a senior pastor, and there is a noble supervisor (administrator) to confirm that 42 directors have executed Pharaoh's orders after that. At the bottom of the hierarchy are scribes, craftsmen, farmers, and workers.

The ancient Egyptian civilization created the first government to govern the whole country. The Sumerians were the only people who had cultural civilization and city civilization before 3000 BC, they lived in the state of a small city, and the number of people in each state was at most tens of thousands at most . Meanwhile, the unified Egyptian Kingdom covers the whole country, covers several thousand square miles and has millions of residents. Pharaoh was a ruler of political and religious ancient Egypt. The pharaoh named "King of the two places", which means that he ruled all parts of Upper Egypt and Egypt; and "High priest of each temple" means that he is all over the earth It means to represent God. From the Egyptian's eye, Pharaoh was his own god, standing between heaven and earth. His personal welfare is closely related to the welfare of all the people.

The political structure of the Egyptian civilization is very concentrated and has an authoritarian government. Egypt is governed and controlled mainly by Pharaoh. The political structure develops mainly in pharaohs with absolute power. He dominated his family and officials elected by the election. The king owns the land and the people of Egypt serve him. Egypt has a wide bureaucracy that is a set of rules governing structure and activities. The power of Pharaoh is realized by the local governor.

Pharaoh is a government official under the class of the social class of ancient Egypt. These people often contact the Pharaoh directly, suggest Pharaoh, and support the management of ancient civilizations. Their status usually brings them great wealth and respect for others in society. These include his minister, chief financial officer, and minister of rulers who are military commanders. Since religion is an important part of ancient Egyptian culture, pastors played a very important role in Egyptian society. According to the Egyptian history era, the pastor's social position and power may exceed the high-ranking government officials; in fact, the pastor is usually a senior government official and adviser (Vizier) of Pharaoh. Sometimes the power of the high priest may even be comparable to the power of Pharaoh.
