Question

why do we know much more about the cultural practices of rulers than about those of ordinary people​

Answer 1

There are several about why we know about the cultural practices of kings and do not know anything about ordinary people.

Explanation:

• We do not know much about ordinary people's life because they did not have enough money to pay historians and minstrels to record their life.
• The kings could secure their records at their palaces.
• Most of the ordinary people did not know how to read or write they hardly earned their livelihood.
• Ordinary people did not have the resources to secure or preserve their practices.

Answer 2

Answer:

We know more about the cultural practices of rulers than about those of ordinary people because of the following reasons:

Only rulers could afford minstrels and historians for records and documentation.

They could preserve their records at their palaces.

Ordinary people used to struggle to earn their livelihood and they don't know how to read and write.

Ordinary people did not have resources or wealth to preserve their memories and cultural practices.
