Answer 1

• Ancient Egyptians explained the mysteries of nature as the actions of their many gods.

• Egyptian pyramids were similar to Sumerian ziggurats in that both were remarkable feats of engineering that required huge numbers of laborers and complex organization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ancient Egyptians were quite religious and believed that the mysteries of nature were simply the actions of gods. To this end they had many gods and goddesses such as Ra, the sun god and Horus, the god of the sky.

Egyptian pyramids till this day continue to baffle those who study it due to engineering complexity as well as the huge number of laborers and complex organization it must have taken to build. They share these traits with the Sumerian Ziggurats.

Ancient Egyptians believed quite heavily in the afterlife and this influenced their actions in life. The Great Sphinx was not of ornamental value alone and although there are many theories about its purpose one thing clear is that it was of significant influence to the Ancient Egyptians.
