they depended on there immediate environment around them for survival. somewhat like the pre-empting your fate. the understanding of your world around you comes with time. they became more religious over a long period of time. the things in life that were not understood had to be explained to the common people. that's were your religion is important in letting you understand or at the very least feel more enlightened. for thousands of years egyptians used the forests to help build there empire. as the forest dwindled they went further into Sudan for wood that was brought down thru the river nile. that culture was not aware of the inpact it had on there environment. hence more destruction from nature and (god). case in point, after 9/11 the U.S. has shown a sharp rise in people attending there temple, church and so on. in times of disaster we look to god for answers. thanks be to god.
