One difference, is between China and Egypt, with their rulers. In China, they believed in the Mandate of Heaven, the belief that the ruler had divine approval. This meant that the emperor spoke for god, but wasn’t considered a god. With Egypt, it was the opposite. To the Egyptians, the pharaoh was a god. They believed that the king ruled even after death, as a god. Another difference between two civilizations, is between Egypt and Sumer. In Egypt, it was possible to move between social classes. You could move by marriage, or by earning it. However, in Sumer, it was not possible to move social classes, or at least very hard. For example, if you were born poor, then you would likely not be able to move up in your lifetime. If your family was poor, that was how you were going to be as well. India was the neutral ground because they didn’t have any great social divisions. This shows that each civilization had its own unique way of life, and that they each had their own
