Document Summary
Society always repaid someone when they had a problem. Ie if a house ever collapsed and killed a son inside, the builders son would be put to death. Relationships were regulated by the law, too important to leave the future of their society to its own devices. Eye for an eye was in full effect. Gods were worshipped, however just because you worshipped the gods it was no guarantee that the gods would be fair to you. Temple worship, the strongest man led the country, believed gods had a human form. Nile was generous source of water and nutrients for soil. Well organized, had lots of man power and were very efficient. Everything was controlled by one man: the pharaoh. Pharaoh was believed to be a god. They had mathematics and geometry as we see with the pyramids. Had 3000 years of peace and prosperity until the romans conquered them. Big part of their success was their very efficient agriculture.
