Around this period of time, the political atmosphere and situation in Egypt wasn't exactly the best, rather, it was in extreme turmoil.
For dozens of years, Egypt had gone through numerous revolts and infightings among its own citizens, which in return caused the instability in its society.
The main problem was the social inequality that was happening in the society. The Egyptians at that time were divided into different castes; from top to bottom were the nobles, the artisans, the soldiers, the farmers and the lowest of all, the servants.
While the people of a high caste were spending their lives in extravagance, the lower castes generally lived in constant hunger and poverty.
