Ancient egyptians believed in different gods to the Greeks, but they were both polythiestic cultures (which means that they believed in more than 1 god.) Also, Greeks and egypitans had different government types. Ancient Egypt had 1 pharoah, that would control all of Egypt. The heir of the pharaoh was the oldest son of the pharaoh.
