Ancient Egyptian society treated both men and women equally. This social system reflects Egyptian mythology, where Goddesses played an equal role. The Egyptians began to form a symbolic written language about 5000 years ago. Eventually, the pictures they used to represent words came to represent sounds. These symbols, hieroglyphs, were adapted for use in everyday life, in addition to their important religious beliefs. By 3100 BC, Egypt had a principal government controlled by a line of hereditary rulers. These kings, called pharaohs, kept a royal court of advisors and nobility, and oversaw the governors of the provinces of the kingdom. The pharaohs came to be considered as the representatives of the gods on earth and even as gods themselves.
