Ancient Egypt had stability as well as a structured way of life which is why this civilization expanded and flourished. One aspect of ancient Egypt that promoted stability was an established religion that all people under Egypt's rule followed and believed in. For example, in Egyptian religion the Pharaoh was considered to be a God which helped him to be feared and respected. Interdependent classes also helped ancient Egypt to flourish since all social classes needed each other in order to maintain stability. In ancient Egypt the Pharaoh was at the top of the hierarchical system but even he relied on others such as his viziers to give him advice as well as collect taxes. Lastly, ancient Egypt was able to expand and flourish because of its military and defensive strategies. For example, during the time period of the Middle Kingdom, Egypt had professional troops that were highly trained, thus protecting itself from invasions. Unified religion, social classes that were dependent on each other and a strong military are just three of the many reasons why Egypt thrived for centuries.
