Ultimately, the four factors that were imperative to Egypt’s success as a state society are the intensified agricultural production, the creation of writing and systems of record-keeping, the rise of monumental architecture, and the organization of hierarchy into discrete social and political classes. The agricultural production soared being near the Mediterranean Sea, leading to labor specialization and, as a result, a more complex state society in Egypt. The introduction of writing and a record-keeping system led to an increase in trading and the ability to track an individual’s hours worked, if they got paid, and if they were scheduled to work or perform labor. The physical building of the pyramid built the social and political hierarchies, with the lower class working on building the pyramid, while the highest class would not actually work on it; they would just be buried inside it. Without these four factors, Egypt would not have flourished as such an important city, and we may not have ever had the formation of the pyramids.
