Nell'antico Egitto, la gestione dello Stato non era affatto semplice: con un territorio vasto e una struttura politica articolata, il faraone si affidava a una complessa rete di funzionari e amministratori.
In questa puntata, Paolo e Martina ci portano alla scoperta dei ruoli chiave della corte, specialmente nell’epoca Protodinastica e nel Nuovo Regno, svelando come visir, tesorieri e altri ufficiali lavorassero dietro le quinte per mantenere l’ordine e far funzionare l’impero.
Scopriremo insieme i meccanismi dell’antica burocrazia egiziana e il modo in cui il faraone gestiva, con l’aiuto dei suoi funzionari, ogni aspetto della vita pubblica e religiosa. Dalla raccolta delle tasse alla giustizia, passando per le cariche locali, l'amministrazione statale egizia ci mostra un mondo lontano, ma sorprendentemente sofisticato!
