  Today in class we did some more review for our test. Soldiers used wooden weapons (bow & arrows) with bronze tips and might have rode chariots. The upper class were known as the "white kilt class" and they were priests, doctors, and engineers. Pharaoh was the political and religious leader of the Egyptian people, holding many titles such as "Lord of the Two Lands". The pharaoh was the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt. He owned all land, made up taxes, etc. Hatshepsut was a woman who served as pharaoh, and Cleopatra VII also served as pharaoh, but much later (51-30 BC).
