egypt & sumerians

[Watson211]

What do the religious beliefs of the peoples of Egypt ans the Sumerians reveal about their values and their societies

[Lil O'lady]

Oh that pesky essay that you should have read up on.
Do me a favour and ask your tutor exactly what they mean by religious beliefs, and how you should distinguish in your answer between belief in magic and spells, as opposed to hierarchical established priesthoods. And don't forget that what survives in the written record is a miniscule proportion of what existed - and so can only reflect on a small scattering of people across space and time.

also that this begs the question a bit. Do we deduce their religious beliefs from their values or their values from their religious beliefs?
