Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1 Answer: A theocracy is a government controlled by a Religion, such as the Vatican. I personally think the Egyptians are a theocracy, because they believe that the Pharaoh is the son of god, and when he dies they believe that he (or she although there is only one she) becomes a god.

Question 2 Answer: Pyramids were used by the Egyptians to store kings and prevent thieves. Ziggurats are used to connect human and god in Mesopotamia. Ziggurats were basically pyramids but with 'layers'. Both were built in the Bronze Age.

Question 3: (im only going to write one because that would take forever if I wrote 3)

The epic of gilgamesh from Mesopotamia was a written work based on a king, known as Gilgamesh, who journeys to kill a lion I think, but after his friend dies he journeys to the underworld.

Question 4 Answer: Trade and Colonization

The Phoenicians were really the first to begin colonization, setting up numerous colonies and one really big colony known as carthage. The Phoenicians also were active in trade, connecting all sorts of parts in the Mediterranean.
