Ancient Mesopotamia was much closer to a democracy in comparison to Ancient Egypt, which could almost be viewed as a dictatorship. Ancient Egypt consisted of the pharaoh, the wealthy class below him, citizens, and at the bottom were the slaves. The Slaves played a large role in ancient Egypt, and consisted of a majority of the labor force. This labor force is what allowed the Egyptians to construct such monumental building projects such as the pyramids. To construct these massive structures took an astounding labor force of up to 84,000, around 20 years in order to construct a single pyramid. This obviously could not have been achieved without the use of class systems and a higher power. On the other hand, Mesopotamians had a ceremonial center that used leadership to direct skilled labor workers to build it. I took 1,500 laborers 5 years to build this building, known as the Eanna Complex. This is an early form of class systems being used and early Egypt and Mesopotamians used them very differently to build special
