In this paper I argue that the Egyptians’ documents supported the idea that Re wanted the best for his people in many aspects and provided for them to ensure their wellbeing.
In this paragraph I argue that the Egyptian creation story shows Re giving his people bountiful resources so that they may live and live well. In the creation of Egypt, or Khemet, Re made the topography of the land to favor the Egyptian people. The Egyptian creation story states, “[Re] protected the land with great barriers of desert, and created the river Nile so that it 's waters would flood the land and rich crops would be plentiful.” (2) Re provided the Nile for the Egyptians that provided food, which gave them life. Re also provided the desert, which protected them from the dangers that lay beyond the desert. Re also gave countries besides Egypt water to provide food.

This compassion and care for his people shows that he did not want them to die, but to resume to living, as death was merciless. He hears the cries of anguish from his dying people, and cannot help but to feel sorry for the humans he created, who worship him, being killed in his ordered genocide. The Egyptian creation story reads, “Re heard the prayers and screams of the dying and felt compassion for the children of His tears, but He remained silent.” (1) When Re recognizes that he should save man from Hathor’s wrath and from death overall, he begins to ponder how he could do so. The text states, “The Sun God wondered how He could save mankind,” (1). He intended to save mankind, and had set his mind to finding a way to do so. Re had regret for what he had done and intended to fix the situation. Taken together, this evidence demonstrates that Re wanted his humans to continue to live, as Re came to see that death was an immoral thing to put upon

In 1375 B.C.E. a young Pharaoh ascended the throne named Amenhotep IV, but just five years into his rule he changed his name to Akhenaten and with this change he went against tradition and the culture of his people, moving his capital, and declaring a new religion. This change affected every aspect of the Egyptians life, how they worshiped, lived and even the art that was so important to the culture. Though Egypt had a long history of tradition and respect of the past, Akhenaten’s radical behavior did not last, it was just ten short years after his death, that his city was demolished and his name almost obliterated from history, and the old ways brought back. During his rule he opened up a renewal and renaissance of culture and beliefs,
but he didn’t want to die so then that would go against the 10 commandments "Thou Shou Not Kill" and this kind of goes with something like murder.

The religious beliefs centered on the worship of numerous deities who signified various features of ideas, nature and purposes of power. Religion played a part in every aspect of the lives of the ancient Egyptians because life on earth was seen as only one part of an eternal journey, and in order to continue that journey after death, one needed to live a life worthy of continuance. So, the information about what did religion affect and how did religion affect the lives of the ancient Egyptians will be provided in this paper.

Although the Mesopotamians and Egyptians of 3500 to 1500 B.C.E. were similar due to social hierarchy and power roles, nevertheless, the differences between Mesopotamians and Egyptians are evident with politics.
