Egypt is far more democratic than many other ancient kingdoms. The main proof of that is the fact that, regardless of gender, every child of a ruler can inherit the throne. The men and women are almost identical, which is not unusual at the time. Moreover, the family line in ancient Egypt was taken from the mother, not his father's. This is rooted in the belief that inheritance can be proven if known by the mother (because DNA tests for father are not available at that time).

Egyptian women can hold high religious positions

Women in Egypt can hold the position of "God's Wife," which is associated with different gods. But the most important position is "Wife of God Amun." This is the title of honor given to a woman (who belongs in any class but then from the upper classes) who will assist the minister in the ceremony and take care of the god statue. Also, not infrequently women become housewives, and they used to mingle with the community. There are various artifacts in which women are portrayed as professional musicians, dancers, and party guests.
