scribes
Then came the scribes because they were not that popular but they had more power than the farmers.
Farmers
They were next because they were not that popular as well. But they still had more power than the servants and the slaves.
Servants
They ranked with the slaves. Only because they had to take care of people besides their families.
Slaves
They were at the bottom of the list. They had masters and people that had jobs like plowing, but they made the slaves do it for them.
The Rosetta Stone.
This was a writing tool. It had three languages. One was Greek. another was Egyptian. The last one was hieroglyphic. The Rosetta stone is important because it's a script made for religious reasons.

The Egyptians had practiced polytheism. They had different places to worship different gods. Each house hold worshiped different gods.The pyramids is where they put the mummified bodies. The mostly royal families were the ones who had them or loved ones in the pyramids. Some poor families could put loved ones in into the pyramids too. The Egyptians believed in after life.
