Question

What are 2 similarities in government in ancient India and ancient Egypt?

Answer 1

Answer:

We could  give these examples:

Similarities

1. Ancient civilizations were born and developed in river valleys: the Nile (Egypt) and the Indus River (India). Ancient civilizations were agricultural societies. They represented a change to a  sedentary lifestyle from the lifestyle of hunters and gatherers.

2. Both civilizations developed a writing system. We know more about the Egyptian hieroglyphs than about the language used in the Indus Valley.

Differences

1. The religions adopted and practiced in old Egypt and old India were very different. Egyptian ancient religion was more sophisticated and complex than the religion of ancient Indus Valley civilization in many regards: gods, beliefs, the pyramids and other aspects. The Egyptian pharaoh was a seen as a living god and he took patronage of some cults. There was a strong symbiosis of state and religion in ancient Egypt.

2. Both in Mojenjo-Daro and Harappa (Indus) , city life was highly developed: many houses had wells and bathrooms, and there was a good drainage system. Its material conditions were better than in contemporary Egyptian cities and comparable to those in Sumerian cities.
