Urban life changed Mesopotamia for the good, increasing the power, wealth, and status of the Mesopotamia people living this new urban lifestyle. The Mesopotamians kept slaves and had a greatly ranging social status system; from the very rich and powerful, too the very poor and dehumanized class and everything in between. They believed that the kings of their society were God kings, or human Gods. Women had rights, not at the same level as men, but they had certain rights. They were engaged in trading with the surrounding peoples to get the resources their home land would not provide them with.
The philosopher filled our libraries with documents that cement the fundamental structure of our constitution. The politician acted with an acclimated understanding to run a centralized government sometimes requires action at odds with philosophical and moral belief. Jefferson was ambivalent about slavery throughout his career, yet he owned over 600 slaves throughout his lifetime. He believed in a limited government, and yet he expanded government authority more so than Washington and Adams.

The Egyptian society tended to think of themselves as superior to other people, so Egyptians frequently eyed foreigners with unwelcomed glares. Another comprises the political development and characteristics. Both ancient Mesopotamia’s and Egypt’s government were ruled by some sort of king. For Egypt, the highest place of the government was the pharaoh, who was not only
The structures were also as a form of making him seem immortal to all those who knew and those who are against him. However, the large scale of the building program required a lot of materials and workers to be completed, which had a great impact on New Kingdom Egypt and its people. The construction of such large buildings was a change from the rulings of previous pharaohs. Since Ramesses II built “without concern for quality”, many more workers were needed for manual labor and construction. Ramesses II want fast results which forced him to ransack many other monuments of previous periods to obtain building stone that were already cut to size.
Since the discovery, studies of his tomb and remains have revealed much information about his life and times. Using the remains of Tutankhamun and his tomb, archaeologists identified the customs, beliefs and lifestyle of the ancient Egyptians. The tomb provides evidence that Egyptians believed in the afterlife - a life after death. The Egyptians also believed their pharaohs were divine therefore, they believed if they did not serve the Pharaohs well, the Nile would not rise and they would not have a good farming season. The tomb generally is significant and useful as it was one of the only tombs to ever be discovered fully intact.

Money, social classes, is how we separate the different ideas and traits that make us all different. Without this separation and order our world would fall into absolute chaos because we lose our drive to live and be human. If you look into the humanistic past, you would see that for hundreds of years we have lived in some kind of social order and that has kept our head on our shoulders for as far back as we can remember. Whether its the ancient Egyptians living under the monarch of the pharaoh, or the British living under the British parliament, we all have order and civilization. Our race has a place in this world.
Spartacus Spartacus, trained as a gladiator, led the historic uprising known as Gladiator’s War. Though they had beaten the Roman armies many times, still failed in the end after being trapped in Lucania. However, Spartacus's epic fight for freedom has been an everlasting legend.

The end of a dynasty of kings and the beginning of a new dynasty appear from evidence to have been a period of turbulence throughout the Old Kingdom. Everything in the Old kingdom revolved around the King and when there was a problem in one king succeeding another then Egypt was on the verge of chaos. Chaos was something that the king ensured Egypt would not enter. Issues concerning the kings political power and economical instability became increasing problems towards the end of the OK and brought great difficulties for the kings which ultimately effected the whole Egyptian society. This can be seen in problems that all new kings faced but particularly the new king of a new dynasty and in particular in Dynasty 6.
This controversy is caused by the slight differences people considered between a slave and a servant. Egypt’s slaves (or servants) were treated completely differently than in other civilizations such as Greece or Rome, one cannot be sure if they were actually slaves. If a powerful person in the society was looking to build any kind of piece of artwork and a particular slave had the abilities to do make it, then that person would buy that slave and be purchased for the job. There is much to be discovered about life as a slave in Ancient Egypt, a piece I found quite intriguing is one from the bible. Around 1400-1200 BC, the Egyptians had just conquered Ancient Israel and enslaved all the Jews that lived in Egypt at the time, then when the Egyptian New Kingdom collapsed, all Jews were freed and the Egyptians had no longer the right to enslave the Jews.
