Egypt and Mesopotamia are two of the earliest civilizations in history. They each had good and bad things about them. They each were special civilizations in their own way. They had many similarities but also had differences. “Like Mesopotamia‚ Egypt depended on the waters of a great river system” (Adler 33). This is one of the similarities between the two countries. They both relied on water systems to keep the countries afloat. A difference was “Egypt was static and Mesopotamia was dynamic” (Fish
