What are two animals the Egyptians considered divine?
Ancient Egypt had such a long history that at various times and in various cities & temples, different animals were considered to be sacred and had cult worshipers. For example: A. Bulls were worshiped and considered sacred in Armant & Heliopolis; B. Fish were worshiped at Esna; C. Rams were sacred on Elephatine Island; D. Crocodiles in Kom Ombo; During the thousands of years of ancient Egypt under the pharaohs many other animals were deemed to be sacred, such as cats.
What two developments alowed the egyptians to settle in towns?
nomads discovered that they could grow crops and capture animals and tame them for food and other uses.
What were the two forms of writing used by the Egyptians and Mesopotamians and which used which?
The Egyptians used hieroglyphics and the Mesopotamians used cuneiform.
How did the Hebrew view of history differ from that of the Mesopotamians and the Egyptians?
I don't know how the Egyptians and Mesopotamians viewed history, so I won't speak for them. The Israelite view is that God has placed before us three books of wisdom. The most important is the Torah. The other two "books" are: the created world, including the stars and planets, plants, animals, and ourselves; and the events of history. History is seen by the religious Jew as a book of Divine lessons.
Why was the sun and river probably the reason ancient Egyptians had this belief?
Well, honey, those ancient Egyptians were probably thinking the sun was hot stuff because it gave life and light, while the river was the Nile, keeping their crops watered and their butts afloat. So, it's no surprise they thought these two powerhouses were gods or had some divine influence - I mean, wouldn't you if your survival depended on them?
