Answer:

It's TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

These societies - Greece and Egypt - were the founders of political power in the Ancient World, each one on their way. Their symbols were used to show the government influence over the life of the citizens, but also to represent the tenacity of their political power. Our modern government uses these symbols because our political history is influenced, one way or another, by the Greek conception of democracy, or the Egyptian idea of judgment based on personal actions.
