The Egyptians didn’t follow the gods because they were scared of them, they followed them because they felt comfort and security.
Last, in Mesopotamia they had a government based strongly on Theocracy and in Egypt, they had a government based on the Pharaohs. The Mesopotamians thought the gods ruled the land and they were their leaders and in contrast, the Egyptians had Pharaohs who they followed and believed to be their leaders. Ultimately, the floodings of the two large rivers affected every aspect, of both the Mesopotamians and Egyptians way of life. Due to these floodings Mesopotamians and Egyptians formed two very different ways of life. These different views of life caused two different religions to form between Mesopotamia and Egypt. Due to the differences in religions in Mesopotamia and Egypt this caused their way of government, to be much
different.
