Mayan Civilization vs. Egyptian Civilization

These two civilizations have got a lot in common and also a couple differences. Both Civilizations were ruled by one ruler. In Egypt it was the pharaoh. In the Mayan civilization it was the mah kina. However, the Mayans had different city states led by people they called halch uinic. The Egyptians did not have city states led by separate leaders under the pharaoh, they did have cities though. The Mayans served their gods with many human sacrifices, the the Egyptians rarely, if ever, performed human sacrifices. Both civilizations had a had a polytheistic religion. They each believed in many gods to explain everything that happened. The people would pray to the specific god they requested help from. The geography of each civilization is pretty similar, yet not exactly the same. Both were located on a river. The Egyptians on the Nile and the Mayan were surrounded by dozens of rivers. The Mayan civilization was located in a rain forest nowhere near a desert. The Egyptians were located in a desert with no rain forest anywhere close. The Egyptians wore a fair amount of jewelry since they lived in big cities and had no apparent danger. The Mayans, located in the rain forest with danger around every tree, wore a lot of body paint, so that they could move quickly and swiftly. Both civilizations came to a sudden end with the bubonic plague which got Egypt, and the Spanish that got to the Mayans.
