Professional and skilled workers like scribes,
artisan, artist,
and architects were honored. These roles in society were usually passed on in______
with young boys learning a trade from their father. For farmers and peasants,
who made up the vast majority of the population, life never changed. In addition to
hard work on the land, they were required to pay
and were subject to special
duty at any time. Only Slaves were beneath them in social status. Most
Egyptian families lived in their own homes. Boys were expected to marry young and start
their own families. Women worked in the home, but many also had jobs outside the home.
Egyptian women had the legal rights to own property make contracts, and divorce their
husbands.
