How the Rich and Famous Ancient Egyptians Lived
In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh was at the top of the 'pyramid' and his family, noble people who owned land, and the priests came after.
Scribes, architects and doctors were well off, and skilled craftsmen also had many privileges.
Peasants and unskilled workers were low down the scale of Egyptian society, but it was the servants and slaves that skirted the bottom of the class pyramid.
Men in the armed forces, army and navy were not afforded a high social status, and neither were entertainers.
As for the eating habits of the ancient Egyptians, arteriosclerosis (high cholesterol) found in ancient Egyptian mummies indicates that they loved to eat and drink well.
Different kinds of meat were available for the elite, like, beef, veal, antelope and gazelle meat.
Similarly to today perhaps, wine was the booze of choice for high society individuals.
Fine wines were labelled with the date, vineyard and variety as the tax assessors requested, such as the ones found in Tutankhamun's tomb.
