• Pharoah all-powerful worshipped as a god, intimately connected to other major Egyptian gods/goddesses

• Pharoahs had multiple wives, all routes tot financial and social success was through the palace.
• Women could have money, land, divorce, very few had real political power. 
• Gods were portrayed with animal heads or bodies.
