Step 1

Ancient Egyptian Civilization: Ancient Egyptian Civilization was the civilization in ancient Northeast Africa, situated in the River Nile Valley in the country of Egypt around 3100 BC. Ancient Egypt consisted of three major social classes--upper, middle, and lower. The upper class included the royal families, landowners, army officials, government officials, doctors etc. The middle class consisted of chiefly of manufacturers, merchants etc and the lower class, as the largest class, included of laborer and farmers. Prisoners formed a separate class. Observing the Ancient Egypt's society, it was found the class system was not rigid. People form the lower and idle classes can transfer to a higher position by their success in work or getting jobs. Every individual has their rights and given their freedom. The women had their waste rights and was also able to inherit property and enroll in any field like trade.

The fertile Nile Valley produced huge crops which in turn supported a large population and thus social and cultural development.
