First (and perhaps foremost), both the ancient Mayas and Egyptians built pyramids. Second, both civilizations worshiped many deities and believed in some sort of "afterlife". Both had a writing system, dubbed "hieroglyphs". Social ranking was also similar; the king had the highest social standing, while laborers had the lowest. Finally, both civilizations disappeared, although their predecessors still exist in today's society. These are just some of the characteristics that the Mayas and Egyptians had in common.
