Did you know that the language Egyptians made was called Hieroglyphs. Well,In ancient Egypt their language was made of pictures not letters like how it is now. Great achievements are not worth great injustices because they wouldn’t get treated correctly, they would be tired and lastly they had to do things for the pharaohs which also caused them to be hungry and dirty . According to what I said that Egyptians don’t get treated correctly.I know that it wasn’t fair because if only they would do something wrong “woop” they get hit.In the text it states that “ I shall describe you the bricklayer his kidneys are painful when he must be outside in the wind he lays bricks without a garment.”I know I am correct because the pyramidwas split into different type of places at the very tip of the pyramid was the pharaoh below the pharaoh was the goverment officials below them were the priests below the priests were the scribes below them were the artisans and the very bottom were the peasants and the pharaoh liked them where they have to be but what is not fair is that it had to be all perfect which is not …show more content…
In the text is states that “His strength has vanished through fatigue and stiffness kneading all his excrement.”He eats bread with his fingers, although he washes himself, but once a day.”This proves that great achievements were not worth great injustices, but also because the Egyptians would get really tired from doing all the work for the Pharaoh. The third reason why achievements are not worth great injustices is because Egyptians were hungry and dirty. In the text it states “he eats bread with his fingers although he washes himself but once a day.” This proves I am correct because the bricklayer worked as hard as he could and also the whole time he would work I bet he was hungry because if you think about it you would be feeling how he is
Did you know that the people who built many of the Egyptian monuments we know today (also know as slaves) suffered while making creating the monuments.Well in ancient Egypt, slaves created the monuments that there still is and many of them were killed in the process of building them. Great achievements are not worth great injustices because slaves died, they had terrible lives and they couldn’t enjoy what they had made.
To gain power and to be the leader of Egypt, he committed massacres of Mamluks who ruled Egypt before French invaded. He killed them, and the event became known as the Massacre of Cidetal. The fact that he slaughtered innocent people seems cruel and brutal. However, it was necessary to overthrow the government ruled by Mamluks for the development of Egypt, considering the government’s weaknesses. The government at the time was ineffective and weak. Mamluks “were not united, and struggled for power among themselves”(“The Pasha’s Bedouin”). Egypt was invaded because the government was not functioning properly, and Mamluks were not able to do anything even after French started to rule the country. By taking power from Mamluks entirely, Muhammad Ali minimized the possibility of rebellions and established the strong military which prevented other countries from invading Egypt. Some other sacrifices were made during his modernization project. His modernization cost “the lives of some 100,000 of the Egyptian peasants who were ordered to do the digging” and caused great suffering as he increased the taxes. (“Muhammad Ali Pasha”). A tax inspector who served for Muhammad stated “a village which had formerly paid 1,000 riyals in taxes … was now assessed at between 10,000 and 100,000 riyals, more or less” because Muhammad increased taxes (“Muhammad `Ali's Tax Inspectors”). The increase in taxes would have caused great suffering to people. However, it cannot be denied that his modernization plans were needed to make Egypt strong. Although people suffered from high taxes, he brought positive influences on Egypt by using those taxes effectively. With his projects, Egypt was able to establish cotton agriculture which still supports Egypt’s economy still today, and brought economic growth which would make people’s lives better because the country can get more profits to organize and to create
Did you know that the Ancient Egyptians worked really hard to build pyramids? Well in Ancient Egypt there workers { slaves } build pyramids and were in pain and only took a shower once a week. Great achievements are not worth great injustice because when they were done they did not get to go inside only the pharaohs when they died. Also because they ate with their dirty fingers. They only showered once a week, and they were in lots of pain.
Did you know that Giza is the oldest and largest of all the pyramida. Well, in ancient egypt the peasants had to do all the work for the pharaoh and do what he said so. Great achievements are not worth great injustices because they got beaten by other classes above them, they starved with only a small meal, and they were weak but still had to work hard.
Great achievements are not worth great injustice because egyptians would be in pain. I know this because in the resource it says “ His kidneys are in pain when he must be outside in the wind ,he lays bricks without garments”. This shows My answer is correct because the people of egypt would be working a lot and hard so that caused them to be hurting and in pain.
Did you know that the huge pyramids served as tombs for the Pharaoh? Well, in ancient egypt Pharaohs had workers build huge pyramids to serve as tombs.Great achievements are not worth great injustices because
In Shaw and Smith’s articles, they both discussed the working conditions of the worker in ancient Egypt. Surprisingly, the workers are not “slaves” as people might assume. Both articles confirmed that the labors had a lot of feasting and were fed really well. In The Workforce by Smith, the inscription in the sun temple “Abu Ghurab” described food supplies offered in the feasts. They had bread, beer cakes, ect. Shaw mentioned Mark Lehner’s discovery of tremendous cattle, goat and sheep bones. The quantity was so much that it could feed thousands of people eating only meat. Other than feasting, workers are also paid with foods and clothes(Smith 2004). Those with dependents even received additional foods. Clearly, the labors were treated
Well in Ancient Egypt people had to work all day, only take a shower once a week, and they had to eat with their dirty fingers. Great achievements are not great injustices because people were in pain, tired, hungry, it was like if they were being tortured.if you was in the ancient egypt yuo wulf ad ben cryin
Great achievements are not worth great injustices because they had to build pyramids which they really didn’t like. In the text it states “pyramids were hard to build for people.” This proves that it’s correct because they had to eat with their fingers because they had nothing but their dirty hands to eat with. The reason why it was unfair because some people could eat with spoons and forks.
Luckily, the Egyptians were already greatly equipped due to their organization. Labor specialization was needed in order for their architecture to be created. We can see this system all throughout the process of erecting sculptures such as the statue of Rameses the Great. Slave labor was used for the manual tasks that needed to be done, for example carrying the granite up the Nile and moving it. Special craftsman were needed to precisely sculpt the granite to fit Rameses’s face. Also, the Egyptians had to have organization in agriculture. They were able to utilize slave labor, but also relied on farmers to bring about the good harvests the people enjoyed. This organization within Egyptian society shows a great level of advancement when taking about empires within the time period.
Egyptians sought themselves as the most superior society due to their strong values, stability, strong government and fascinating discoveries, which caused
From the descriptions and Duau-Khety’s attitude towards the different occupations, one can reasonably deduce that ancient Egypt functioned on a class system. Though many of the jobs Duau-Khety mentions are necessary for a society to function, he makes it clear that the laborers were
The Egyptians had harsh punishments for breaking the law. The laws were based on common sense view of right and wrong. It depended on which crime the criminal did to figure out which punishment they would receive. Not only would it disgrace them, but it would disgrace their whole family.
Three years ago, the people of Egypt were suffering. The citizens were demanding the overthrow of their long-time president Hosni Mubarak by marching, rioting, participating in non-violent civil resistance, striking, and many other acts of protest. They greatly disliked their president for legal and political issues such as police brutality, state of emergency laws, lack of free elections and freedom of speech, corruption, economic issues including high unemployment, food price inflation, low wages and an abusive military. The police brutality was one of the worst problems. If caught protesting, civilians were almost always silenced by summoning them to a tribunal. They would then have an unfair trial and be sentenced to an unrealistic amount of time. Their police are breaking plenty of Human Rights Laws, and then lying about it. The Egyptian military was abusing its power. This supports the argument that power without accountability becomes corrupt.
Ancient Egypt has long been a focus for many of us here in the modern world. With its magnificent architecture, culture, and interesting literature it has baffled the minds of many great thinkers. It is such
