  1. This is not a question. It could be a book of 5 chapters. Basically they were the first civilizations after stone age. They centered their ''urban" complex near a river. They were structured organized at social and economic levels. They were polytheist. They are ancient cultures. But there are a lot of differences that can give you a whole life research.


  2. Egypt has a wall and China has pyramids.

    No, wait....

  3. WELL FOR starters theres china and egypt

  4. Thousands of years ago, their religious beliefs were very different in that Egyptian kings were ween as future gods that would mate with Isis shortly after their death. They believed in an afterlife. During their lives, they worshipped the things that influenced them through nature, The Sun (Ra the Sun God), the Nile, Locusts, frogs, and many other things. Most important was their first born sun. In order to mate with Isis, a dead man's first born Son would go and open the mouth of his father's decomposing body. The vacuum created from the decomposition would pull air in, leading the ancient egyptians to believe the spirit was leaving. The sign of mating with Isis, was the morning star, or Venus.

    Ancient Chinese culture rarely glorified its leaders to the level of a god but, through the influence of Buddhism, came to worship moderation and earn a better nextlife by respecting current life in various ways. However, that respect did not carry over to women or monogamous relationships. Many dynasties came and fell as influences from barbaric tribes changed the cluture into a melting pot, not exclusively Far Eastern, but displaying many middle eastern influences also.

    In current times, Egypt is a Muslim nation much like Palestine, Syria, and Jordan. The culture is very communal as Islam is commonly seen as a way to run society. Many Muslim nations are communist economically but rarely bare the name. In China, the communist government reigns supreme but favors a capitilistic viewpoint economically. Socially, however, religion is illegal and seen as a threat to the state. Totalitariansim might better define China's social relations, both with its people and its neighbors. The scale and perception of power is very different. China is isolationist in general, while Muslim beliefs in Egypt do not permit such a luxury.

    I hope that helps-AK
