What were similarities and differences between mesopotamian and egyptian religions? a. leadership b. view of afterlife c. divinity

Both cultures also had priests and priestesses for their gods, which acted as leaders and used ceremonies to appease the gods they represented. Their religions also had a heavy influence on both cultures governments.

The Egyptians and Mesopotamians had very different opinions on the afterlife, however; for the Egyptians, so long as you aggravated no gods or committed horrible acts, there was a peaceful paradise waiting for you in death. For the Mesopotamians, it was much more grim -- your afterlife would be a continuation of your life on Earth. If you were born a king, you would be one in the afterlife. If you were born a peasant, you were stuck as one even in death. Additionally, the food would be awful, and if your dead relatives didn't take care of you, you were doomed to a very unpleasant existence.

Both Mesopotamian and Egyptian religions were polytheistic, and both anthropomorphized their gods.
