Egypt gradually grew more people, which started the civilization. The Egyptian civilization's religon was polytheism. This means that they worshiped mant gods, some of which include Ra the god of the son, Nut the god of the sky, and Horus the god of the pharoahs1. They were ruled by a pharoah who was believed to be a god. In the Egyptian social ladder the pharoah was at the top followed by the nobles, then the educated workers ( doctors, accountants etc.), craftsman (artists, soldiers etc.), and last were the slaves and servants2. They communicated on paper made from papyrus in hieroglyphics. They also created great archtitecture like the famous pyrimids and Sphinx.
