Similarities And Differences Between The Middle Kingdom And Ancient Egypt

The river valley civilizations, ancient Egypt and China, were major cities with vast power and influence in the ancient world. Along came large and complex social structures, economics, and cultures. All three of those have similarities and differences between the two civilizations that greatly impacted the course of human history.

In addition, Dynasties tended to be clustered under three kingdoms Old, Middle and New Kingdoms. The Old Kingdom was 3100-2200 BC. It was fundamentally productive and successful period of ancient Egypt. During this period many accomplishments were made, for example, art and architecture, divine kingship, religion, social and economic stability, and prosperity. This was the period that saw the construction of the most important sights to the Pharaohs of Egypt, the pyramids of Giza.

This paper will present the similarities in religion, social, and economics the kingdoms share with each other. The amount of reading one would have to do to perform an extensive and detailed research into the economies, religion, and social structure of both Egypt and Babylon, is so prohibitive due to fact that Egypt has been a part of the world stage since nearly the beginning of man and the changes that each ruler would make as they ascended to the throne, would be an exercise in futility. The research, findings and conclusions in this paper are the result of a basic interpretation of

In Ancient Egypt, art had evolved within the three kingdoms. Between the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom structures and models have grazed the land of Egypt. What stood out most about their art was it was mostly architecture. Back in Ancient times i am positive that the structures were not used for art purposes, it was strictly for their own beliefs.

Ancient Middle East consisted of the civilizations of Sumer and Mesopotamia while Ancient Egypt consisted of the civilization of Egypt.Regions like these had developed the technology that has evolved into what people use in modern day. These regions relied on multiple items that allowed it to inhabit civilizations for so long. These two areas were different from one another, but they had many similarities.

People in Egypt thought that illnesses were from evil forces and punishments from the gods, but the middle ages believed that it was evil forces but not a god's punishment. Diseases in the middle ages were a lot of skin related diseases and illnesses, while in ancient Egypt they had a lot of eyes related diseases/illnesses. Medical books were written in hieroglyphics in ancient Egypt, but the people of the middle ages had a different way of writing down things they used English today like writing.

During ancient Egypt, civilization was brought about because the people picked a ruler, or king. “Two of the most important sources of life for the ancient Egyptians were the Nile River and the Pharaoh” (William). At the time, society was very hierarchical; the society was divided into two groups: the privileged people and the majority. The king kept control and managed everything ranging from politics to religion.
