Usually, civilization would mean that besides the spoken language there would be a written language, a religion or belief, a type of governmental system, and little pieces of their culture like art, statues, and/or music. Luckily the Egyptians had everything that falls into that list and then some to help their civilization stand. This was only possible because of all the prosperity they had. Furthermore, they would experiment and adapt things into their culture such as creating hieroglyphics (their written language), using the papyrus plants to make paper, the basics of algebra (though they didn’t use it in many things), and even great medical achievements that they found through their process of mummification. Mummification is a ritual done when someone dies to help guide them into the afterlife through the processes of preserving the body and taking out most of the organs, but keep only the important organs (such as the heart) in jars that would symbolize their Gods.

They both even created/use advanced mathematics and medical practices of creating medicine and the use of vaccines. Though after all that the similarities start to get fuzzier. Especially, on the standing of government and religion. On the government side they both follow the guidance of one person, but the way that it is set up and ran is completely different. In ancient Egypt what the pharaoh says is law, no if ands or buts and had to be in the same bloodline. However, in the U.S. the system is democratic republic where everyone votes/elects people to vote/run the country for the people and can be ran by anyone if they were born in the U.S. Then for religion the U.S. it mainly consists of monotheism (belief of
