Also, here is our Social Studies Example - NO EXCUSES!

Here are some of the ways that the Ancient Greeks and Ancient Egyptians were similiar and different in respects to their Gods and Goddesses.

Who Ruled The Gods?

Both the Greeks and the Egyptians had one God that they believed to be the ruler. In the case of the Greeks it was Zeus, and in the case of the Egyptians is was Amun (also known as Amun-Ra).

The role that both of these gods played was different. For the Greeks, Zeus' only role was to govern all of Ancient Greece. He had one job. Amun, he was responsible for many different roles. This is an example of how the leaders ruled differently.
