Question

"To the king, my lord, my god, my Sun, the Sun from the sky: Message of Yapahu, the ruler of Gazru, your servant, the dirt at your feet."

The greeting from an ancient Egyptian letter that is reproduced above most

accurately reflects which aspect of that society?


A. The fall of Akhenaten


B. The role of the Nile River to Egypt's importance


C. The role of pharaoh as a god


D. The Egyptian religion's importance to Mesopotamia

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) The role of the pharaoh as a god.

The greeting from an ancient Egyptian letter that is reproduced above most accurately reflects the following aspect of that society: "The role of the pharaoh as a god."

That quote was taken from the book called "The Amarna Letters," written by William Moran. This kind of quote clearly expressed the divine category that the Egyptian pharaohs had in ancient Egyptian society. They were considered and treated as direct descendants of the gods, or the envy of the gods on earth. So people feared, love them, and treated as gods, in this particular view as a ruler.
