Egypt Thread

They were a great influence on the Abrahamic faiths. Read their prayers for yourself, they're real similar to ones found in the Talmud and Bible. But this is a meme everyone knows about.

Egypt was an extremely entrenched and powerful state, it imposed endless taxes and managed huge public works, employing a sizeable part of the total population.

It had a single unified legal system so yes in theory you would be tried by the same laws across the empire, tho in practice their control often wavered over peripheral regions.

Dynastic instability was a problem for Egypt as it was for all ancient states, however the existence of well-established bureaucratic and priestly hierarchies tended to mitigate disruption by ensuring continuity of local government. This broke down under Akhenaton, who tried to destroy the powerful priestly class, but in general Egypt was remarkably stable, peaceful, and prosperous.

Egyptians were extremely tightly connected to the Nile and didn't really think Egyptians could live outside Egypt.
