What advantages did educated people get over other inhabitants of Ancient Egypt?
Education was available only to members of the upper classes of society. Egyptian writing is not quite simple, about 700 hieroglyphs, plus writing rules that are very difficult for an unprepared person. In addition to writing, Egyptian schools taught mathematics, the basics of religion and some other subjects. At the same time, the work of even a simple scribe was in great demand. This is, first of all, tax accounting, records of the deeds of the pharaoh and his dignitaries, of course, religious texts, etc. It is not surprising that educated people had significant privileges. In particular, they were exempted from paying taxes, they earned much more than a simple peasant. To this, naturally, a high social status was added, to match his respect.
