Welcome to 1336 BC!

Switching Headquarters

Akhenaton had moved the

government from Memphis to

the new city of Amarna . After

Akhenaton died , the advisor Ay

moved the government back to its

original location in Memphis .

Imagine waking up to nd your father has died and

you are now the king of Egypt at only nine years old . It

doesnt take long for you to realize that the priests hated

your father , Akhenaton , for his extreme religious views.

(

What was your father thinking when he closed down

most of the temples and took away the priests riches ?

)

Your advisor , Ay who , by the way , was also Akhenatons

right-hand man is determined to undo your fathers hard

work . Ay whisks you off to a new home in the city called

Memphis . This is where he will rule the ancient land of

Egypt through you . And to top off this great news , you will

marry your half-sister who is just a few years older than

you . Since you are just a kid , you go along with whatever

your advisor says . After all , what do you really know about

running a country ?

Akhenaton and Queen

Nefertiti make an offering

Talking Politics

and Religion

There is an unspoken rule that people should never talk

about politics or religion .

(

People have strong opinions

about these topics beware the ghts and arguments likely

to occur !

)

But , politics and religion are what make Egypt so

interesting . So , lets talk !

Getting into Politics

You might be wondering who has the power in your

kingdom ? As king , or pharaoh , you have the most power .

Your people believe you are half god and can speak directly

to the gods especially about crops but you turn over

many of these duties to the chief priest and other priests .

Next to you , your vizier , Ay , helps keep an eye on business

and what is going on in your kingdom . Ay collects taxes ,

makes property deals , keeps a running record of your riches ,

and gives you advice according to what he has learned .

Even though you have the right to lead your own army , you

rely on Horemheb as your commander in chief . Along with

Ay , he served your father well , and you have every reason to

trust him .

Governors , or nomarchs , help maintain order in the

smaller counties throughout the kingdom . The nomarchs

report to Ay . You trust these rulers because many of them

are your relatives . Under the nomarchs are mayors who

govern the smallest towns and make sure the rules of

society are followed. Village elders serve under the mayors

to keep the peace .

The Bottom of the Barrel

vizier

nobles

priests

soldiers

scribes

craftsmen

farmers

slaves

At the very bottom of society was the largest group of people ,

the peasants . They included the men who professionally

washed dusty clothes and the fowler who hunted birds eaten

for meals . They also included reed cutters , who sold papyrus
