Which of the following is NOT characteristic of Egypt under the pharaohs? |
Travel Info a. Large pyramids were built as tombs for the ings b. all rulers were chosen by their people c. there were large areas of conquered territory and subject people d. there was a tax system based primarly on mineral wealth i think it is B not sure Travel Tips B Others It is "B", but is should read "All rulers were "measured" by their people"... Hope this helped, but you're going to flunk anyway... definitely b. homework trouble? B...Pharaohs were chosen by the "gods". B, of course. But I think C, too. Of course people used to pay taxes with natural wealth, but in Ancient Egypt we remark the money advent. Ancient Egypt money are "debens". The hight clerks was payed in debens, so they were payed the taxes in debens, so in money. We have to think about the people's salary. Someones, like farmers or simple workers(maybe slaves), were payed in natural wealth; but others, like scribes or clerks, were payed in money. So, who was payed in money, payed the tax in money, and who was payed in natural wealth, payed the tax in natural weath. You were right and as others have said it is B. Many factors came into the selection of the one who would ultimately become Pharaoh. Being the direct heir was not guarantee that you would ascend to the throne.The ultimate decision was mostly politically inspired by the all powerful priests and factions of court advisers. To the people the Pharaoh was not just a man or in a few cases a woman but the living child and representative on earth of Ra the sun god who was also called Atum and Amon. Good luck with your exam/test. Egyptology graduate student |
