Ancient Egyptians depended on trading as a source of income. The economic structure at the time was a specialized bureaucracy. Bureaucrats were in charge of public works. Products were bartered and workers were paid in food, pottery, and clothes. The main sources of income for ancient Egypt included farming, mining, and slavery.
The picture is a simple depiction of the common activities such as farming, harvesting, or mining.
Agriculture was the main source of Egypt's wealth. The main goods that were traded included fruits and vegetables, grain, cattle, and fish from the Nile. Farmers grew flax, parsley, and different types of wheat. During the time, ancient Egypt used three types of irrigation: catch basins, dykes, and shaduf. The shaduf was the most efficient because it directly took water from the Nile and into fields.
Egyptians mined for metals that were used for many helpful tools. Copper, bronze, gold, silver, and iron were used along with wood for special tools.
Slavery during ancient Egypt was not as harsh as slavery of other societies. Egyptian slaves were often treated as servants. Slaves were sometimes used for mining, but were often used to construct large structures in groups.
