After agriculture maintained a strong framework and had taken root, specialization occurred in Egyptian society. For instance, skilled craftsmen and artisans specialized in making and developing tools. Farmers solely focused on the growth and bounty of their crops. Merchants sold tools for farmers while the army of men were designated to protect the city. The Pharaoh and other nobles aspired to find better ways in which the state of Egypt will function more efficiently. Each group had their own task that ultimately allowed each person to grow in a particular skill. This resulted in more advanced tools and developments. It also inevitably called for people to be more dependent on others for their services and products. In addition, the economy of Egypt advanced and societal standards were created. The culture of Egypt was also enhanced as the people found better ways to improve their lives through the use of new inventions.
