Answer: Ancient Egypt did not have a government, so this statement is incorrect.

Explanation:

Unlike some other ancient civilizations, such as the Greek or Roman civilizations, which had certain political governance aspects, Egypt had a developed government. In Egypt, Pharaoh had absolute power. He was worshiped as a deity, so Pharaoh decided all matters in the land. Certain religious matters were entrusted to Egyptian priests. Military officials also ranked high on the social scale.
