- SOCIAL STRUCTURE IN MESOPOTAMIA
- Early on, priests held the most power but as city-states expanded, secular Kings were at the top of the social pyramid. Priests became advisors who communicated with the gods. The upper class had government officials and scribes. The middle class had soldiers and workers like craftsmen, merchants, civil servants, and women who were educated or priestesses. The lower class had farmers, laborers, and women who did housework or weaving. Enslaved people had no rights.
