Stable Food Supply

Ancient Egypt stable food supply is irrigation 

because they needed to use it to water their 

plants they ate. They also used the Nile's 

black fertile soil to plant their plants after 

the flood. The Nile also helped them fish 

because of the high water so they could 

catch them with their hands and put them in 

the basket. Wheat was also a part of their 

stable food supply because   they ate it daily.

Government

Ancient Egyptians had to pay taxes, they paid 

them to their government. The Vizier is the 

most powerful Government official. Then there 

is the general which is the top of the military 

which is important because they lead the 

soldiers to protect the Government (people). 

There is also the Treasurer who collects the 

money for the Government. A Pharaoh is 

important because they pretty much are the 

Government, they run the people.

Religion 

Priests were very important because religion 

ruled their daily lives. Men and women both 

can be priests so they are equal in religion 

wise. Priests have to avoid certain food and 

they had to be very clean, so they can worship 

their God properly. Priests were very powerful 

because religion was important to so many 

people.

Writing 

Scrib school was very important because if you 

knew how to write you could work in the 

Government. When you can write you can 

basically record things that need to be 

recorded. Boys ages 5-17 can be in scrib 

school and there ONLY can be boys, no girls 

allowed. If you didn't get something correct in 

scrib school you would get a very harsh 

beating. They used sharp reed, papyrus, stone, 

and black or red ink to write with.

Art

If you were an artist you were highly skilled 

and you could not sign your art work. You 

could be a carpenter, jeweler, leather worker, 

metal worker, painter, potter or weaver. You 

would have to work for ten days straight then 

you would get one resting day the person you 

worked for would determined how and when 

you ate. Most skilled artist is a pyramid or 

stone carver because the Pharaoh have to have 

their pyramid to be able to get into the after 

life.
