Egypt

Due to the spread of civilization, civilization in Egypt occurred. Egypt’s civilization however was more stable and successful than Mesopotamia’s. Foreign invasions didn’t occur as much as Mesopotamia’s. As well as political and sectional conflicts didn’t occur as much as well. Egypt’s civilization welcomed cultural differences and due to this their culture grew stronger and stronger throughout the thousands and thousands of years. Egypt is divided into two lands and stretches along the Nile River. Upper Egypt is fertile land, while Lower Egypt is made up of waterways formed by the Nile. Soon the two lands were unified and ruled by a “pharaoh” which is considered a king. A Pharaoh was looked at as a man that should be obeyed because the Gods themselves of everything these people believed, gave him power. They believed that the Pharaohs at that time had all authority and had all power. So people in Egypt obeyed the Pharaohs thinking they had supreme power.
