Compare And Contrast Egyptian Hieroglyphics

The ancient egyptians religion was complex in some ways. Ancient Egyptians were polytheistic meaning they believed in more than one god. Many temples were built in honor of the gods. The only people that were allowed in the temples were the priests, priestesses, queens, and pharaohs, other people could only go as far as the temple gates. In total there was about 700 different gods and goddesses and many were combined to create new gods and goddesses. Ancient Egyptians were always polytheistic besides one brief change. King/Pharaoh Akhenaten changed it to monotheism but it didn’t stick and died with him. The most worshiped gods were Isis, Osiris, Horus, Anubis, Ra, Nu, and Set. Isis was the goddess of marriage, fertility, motherhood, magic,

Persia and Greece were beautiful and prosperous empires and where the most influential of their time. In this essay I will talk about the two main empires’ political structures and their economy and I will also state similarities and differences between the two empires. The two empires’ political structures might have varied greatly but their economies were very similar. Even though they had differences and had major battles they were still the ideal empires of their time.

The Persian and Athenian Empire had a lot of differences than similarities. There were different people who ran the Empires and they were ran very differently. Trade routes were different but some trade goods were similar to others. The Persian had one person running the empire while the Athenian Empire had many city states instead of one person ruling the whole Empire. Each Empire believed in different many gods, some believed in two gods, and some people in one god. A lot of them believed in different gods and The Athenian Empire believed in the same god. Thier religious are different than others.

The Assyrian and Persian empires were two key empires in early history that became powerful each in their own right. When comparing these two empires, there were similarities and differences.

It is crazy how two different civilizations from two different times can have such similar ideas about their economies. But, India, becoming an empire much later than Persia, had some improved technologies and ideas which made these two civilizations somewhat different. Persia’s main focus of strengthening their economy was the development of agriculture. By growing crops like grains, fruits, and vegetables, the Persians were able to acquire a great amount of food, making the population grow and grow. Fortunately, their location helped them conquer smaller civilizations so they can gain fertile soil, which is extremely important in agriculture. The abundance of food that the Persians had helped them trade with other civilizations that couldn’t grow the crops they needed. In return they would receive items that they needed to help their economy grow. Persia’s main trade route was the Persian Royal Road, which was about 1500 miles long. To transport themselves to deliver a message or items to trade with, the Persians would have intervals along the road and one horse would pull one man until he reaches his stop. It would take about nine days to travel the whole road using couriers, while on footy it would have taken them three months, making trade and communication very slow. Persia did have a social class, with the royal family on top, and of course, the slaves at the bottom. Slaves were a very big part in the labor systems of

One of the developments the humans made was underground irrigation, and they used it get water from valleys to the plains because the water that was available, was streaming into the salt lakes and marshes and evaporating into the air. Cyrus, the son of a Median and Persian, brought together the Medes and Persians through his birth, but then after his death, Darius I took over and made the decision to bring more power to Persia, and less to Medes. The Persian Empire was split into twenty provinces by Darius I, and the satrap, which was in charge of each province, brought different cultures and people together. Zoroastrianism was the religion of many people, and it has similarities of different religions like Judaism and

Although they bear some superficial similarities, the differences between Greeks and Persians during the years 1000-30 B.C.E are clear. The thought that the Greek empires are better than the Persian empires is one that I believe in.

One difference between the two empires is that the Achaemenid Empire had satrapies to rule over the various parts of the empire while the Han did not. The Persians had Satraps to help form a system which made it possible to rule over the whole Achaemenid territory, to raise and

There were several differences and similarities within the Persian Empire that emerged under Cyrus the great and earlier Mesopotamian Empires. Not all empires flourished as well as Cyrus the great’s did due to his moral virtues and way of ruling. One king by the name of Tiglath had some similar values but his empire did not prosper in such ways as Cyrus’s. Not only were there differences and similarities between these different Empires but there were also different ways that Cyrus and his successors coopt earlier religious, political, and social traditions and i'll give several examples of them within this essay.

If I had to say one thing ancient Egyptians were famous for it was that they built tremendous pyramids and had a great amount of skill. Some pyramids still exist and it is amazing how they built them and are still standing today. In the civilization of Ancient Egypt, there were six periods which were the Pre-dynastic period, Old Kingdom, the 1st Intermediate period, the Middle Kingdom, the 2nd Intermediate period, and New Kingdom (TimeMaps). The Pre-dynastic period began in 3500-3000 BC and led to the unified group of Egypt as a community. The Old Kingdom began in 2650 which was around the time that the Great Pyramids of Giza were being built. A man named Narmer was the founder of the 1st dynasty of Ancient Egypt and was looked at as a god. Narmer was mainly known for his hieroglyphic writing and his monuments. Even in todays world, hieroglyphics are used to decode language and is basically the language for the ancient Egyptian

,Long ago there were two great empires: Egypt, and Persia. Both had great power, but lead completely different lifestyles. Egypt was a grand society run by a god-like ruler called a pharaoh, and the other was a large empire who's society flourished due to its large military. Many people may argue that Persia's great military made them a better empire to live in, yet there are many facts in favor of Egypt, such as their lifestyle, treatment of citizens, and values. While Persia may have been strong, the reason that Egypt was a better society to live in is because Egypt had more respect for women, valued their family, and had more resources.

The Ottoman and Persian empires were neighboring empires that had been closely linked for centuries. In fact, the Ottoman empire was preceded by Turks who were deeply rooted in persian culture.
