Cyril Aldred takes a look at the officials of the Palace, a sort of Privy Council, who helped the Pharaoh to govern. They controlled the revenue of the land, the growing of food and the raising of herds. Many were practical experts who supervised the building of irrigation canals and the construction of temples, tombs and pyramids. First broadcast 14 May 1972
