Compare & contrast the ways in which farmers and scribes contributed to ancient egyptian civilization

Farmers in Ancient Egypt were extremely important to society. The area where Egypt is located is known for a dry, desert climate prior to the flooding of the Nile River. Annual flooding of the river ensured the presence of rich, fertile soil to assist in farming of crops. Leaders knew that low crop supplies would often lead to political and social instability- so political leaders appreciated the importance of effective farmers. Farmers used precise irrigation techniques to grow crops such as wheat, herbs for spices and medicines, barley, figs, vegetables, fruit, and flax- which was turned into linen.  

Like Farmers, scribes were an integral part of Egyptian society. They recorded many aspects of Egyptian life and culture ensuring the history of their people would live on. Due to this, scribe families were very powerful and in high demand. Like farmers, scribes were politically important to government officials. This was because they recorded information such as crop availability, supply amounts, religious texts, and societal achievements.
