A tithe is a one-tenth part of something, spent as a contribution to a religious institution or compulsory tax to the government.

I believe that the <u><em>SIMILARITIES </em></u>between Egypt and the civilizations of Mesopotamia are:
- Both civilizations born and thrive in the desert
- Both used the rivers floods to supply their cities and allow agriculture.

- While Egypt was a unified empire, in the civilizations of Mesopotamia we had a group of cities, independent and with their own government system, very similar to what happened in Greece.

- Despite their religious system was similar (both systems were polytheists), Egypt we had anthropomorphic deities while in Mesopotamia gods were humans.
