Almost 5,000 years ago, Egypt became a powerful nation in the ancient world. For more than 2,000 years, leaders called pharaohs ruled this country. Pharaohs were treated like gods. People believed that pharaohs could control the weather and how the crops grew. Pharaohs built enormous tombs, or pyramids, which were as big as palaces. To build a pyramid, thousands of workers spent years of cutting, dragging, and stacking huge blocks of stone. Pharaohs believed they could take precious objects with them to another life after they died. The ancient Egyptians lived along the great Nile River. They depended on its water for drinking, washing, and growing crops. The river was their main means of transportation. It was also the home of fish and many other animals, such as the hippopotamus. Along the banks of the Nile grew a reed called papyrus. The Egyptians used it to make boats, fishing nets, paper, and many other things. All ancient Egyptians were a part of a social class. Most people were peasants. They grew crops, such as figs, dates, and pomegranates. They also worked on buildings, such as temples. Except for slaves, peasants belonged to the lowest class. Ranked above them were craftsmen. Higher up were scribes. Because they could read and write, scribes often had a lot of power. In the highest class were people who ran the government and temples, or who were in charge of different regions of Egypt. Not surprisingly, many of these were members of the pharaoh’s family. The ancient Egyptians were expert farmers. They had hoes for loosening the earth and plows for turning it over. Women were able to own property, but they did not have positions of power. They often did jobs, such as grinding grain, baking bread, and spinning flax.
