In Mesopotamian society, the social structure and hierarchy can be categorized into distinct classes. Here’s a breakdown from the highest to the lowest social class:

  1. Nobility (Ruling Class) - This class included kings, priests, and high officials who held significant power and wealth.

  2. Upper Class - Wealthy landowners, merchants, and priests who had considerable influence and resources.

  3. Middle Class - Skilled artisans, scribes, and traders who engaged in various trades and played critical roles in society.

  4. Lower Class - Farmers and laborers who worked the land or in trades but had limited wealth and power.

  5. Slaves - Individuals who were considered the property of others and had no personal rights; they often worked in homes or fields.
