What may be some advantages and disadvantages for such a large segament of the Egyptian population being farmers servants and slaves?

Answer 1

Egyptâ??s lower classes, consisting of farmers and slaves, represented 80% of the population. With no social mobility, those at the bottom rungs of Egyptian society were doomed to live this way their entire lives. With so many farmers paying grain as taxes, the store houses burgeoned and there was plenty to feed the people during famines. Without slave or free labor, it may not have been possible to achieve the architectural wonders of ancient Egypt. As a result, the Great Pyramids still stand as historical treasures and monuments to Egyptâ??s former greatness.

Answer 2

Advantages: Agriculture provided stability and food security for society. Slavery may have enabled the construction of monumental structures and the development of advanced technologies.

Disadvantages: The reliance on a large population of farmers, servants, and slaves could have perpetuated social inequality and limited economic mobility. Additionally, the system could have hindered social progress and individual freedoms.
