Movement up Ancient Egyptian social standings.
Due to the hierarchal system, it was rare to move up in the social standings. However, there was a still a possibility. If a lower class person saved up money, they could send their children to school. Assuming their child did well at school, they could move up the classes by becoming a scribe. Another way to move up the social class was if you were a soldier. If they fought well, after they retired they would receive large plots of land and consequently they moved up the social class. Also Generals had the ability to promote loyal soldiers. The Pharaoh could also move people up the social standings. If he liked people in his court, he could promote them to become his close advisors. This is often how the Vizier was chosen. While the Pharaoh could also promote people from lower classes, this was rare as he had little reason to interact with lower classes. Because the Pharaoh was believed to be a God, they trusted his choices with the social structure, and people were relatively content in living in the class they were born in. As Ancient Egypt lived by a hierarchal system, promotion was rare.
