Reply To: Social stratification in the Ancient Near East

To Miranda,
I like the example you used of queen Puabi having a feast while her servants fanned her, it’s a really good, simple show of the differences in daily life depending on which social class you belonged to. As well as your other example, how the ruler made himself appear godlike and much larger than any other figure pictured. There are always seems to be far more detail in the images of the kings or other royal family members, than any other man or animal pictured
