They both based their culture on religion. The Mesopotamians feared their gods because their gods punished them for wrong doings like making the river flood unpredictably. In Egypt, they accepted their gods, but didn't fear them. They viewed the world an consistent and peaceful because that's all they had known. The Nile flooded every year which helped the agriculture. Both civilizations were polytheistic, which means worshipped more than one god. The Mesopotamians followed the Code of Hammurabi, a law system. The egyptians did not have a law system set in stone. The Mesopotamians had a defined social grouping system, while the egyptians did not. There was a social grouping system, but it wasn't as complex or official. Women were held higher in Egypt, but still not as high as the men. Not much about mesopotamian women is known because they were not written about, but we know that they were much lower then men were. In Mesopotamia, the kings represented the gods, while the Egyptian kings were viewed as gods.
