The general structure of what Egypt's social classes looked like in ancient time, can be easily visualized as a pyramid. At the top you would find the ruler as well as the royal family. Underneath you would find governmental leaders and administrators. The middle class was made up of specialized craftspeople. Finally the bottom of the pyramid, or lower class, was made up of peasants and agricultural workers. This leveled society is what reflected the bureaucracy that had begun to develop.
The upper classes were created with the ties of only family and relatives of the ruler. This resulted in much talent and ambition to go unrecognized. The way of which people were categorized into classes, caused there to be a distinct division of ancient Egypt. This can be seen through where people called their home. There was a wall that divided the town. This separated the lavish and large villas of the upper class and the smaller living quarters that housed the lower class. The clear distinction between the elite and commoners can also be found through their personal responsibilities and privileges. The duties of nobles and priests (upper class) usually brought rewards of material goods, social position, and community respect. The duty of common workers or slaves were only recognized if they were employed on a state project, which was rare.
.Present day Egypt still has social classes but are just the same of how people are organized socially all around the world. What was once just a way to organize people by status, is still seen the same way. Egypt's ancient social classes were not only carried on to future Egypt, but influenced the world on how people were to be categorized.
