Non-Egalitarian_Features_Of_Ancient_Sumer

Non-Egalitarian Features Of Ancient Sumer One of the ways in which Ancient Sumer was not egalitarian was the government by a monarchy. The early civilizations had many new things that they must get used to. One example of this was that they would have needed someone to govern them and tell them what was right and wrong. Another was that the farmers in these ancient civilizations were that they needed to know when they could farm. If they were not able to ask someone to do so, all of the farmer’s crops would fail and there would be no harvest and no one would be able to eat and starve. Later on, the kings said that they were gods and the people should respect him. The kings were usually given the throne by family. This meaning that the king had the most connections between the families that were living there at that time. This was also another non-egalitarian feature of ancient Sumer. Another non-egalitarian feature is the lower ranking people had to show deference to the people who ranked higher than they did. Some of these “high ranking” officials would be people who were nobles or priests.
