Egyptian vs. Persian vs. Assyrian
Similarities and differences can bring two or more things together or make them separate or not anything at all. For example, the Egyptian, Persian, and Assyrian empires were similar in some ways and different in others, but they didn’t harm each other. The Egyptian, Persian and Assyrian empires are similar by their military, organization of government, and innovations. All three empires had a military. Although they were organized differently, they all consisted of the same things. Their military had officers and soldiers, and the best soldiers were the ones that led the troop into battle. Furthermore, the governments were organized by hierarchy, or from the highest ranked to the lower ranked officials. In all three empires, they had someone appointed as a king, governors and as “vice king”. In addition, the empires made some innovations; their innovations weren’t similar, but the fact that they made innovations makes them similar in some way. For instance, the Egyptians made mosaic glass, and practiced medicine and mummification. Plus the idea of coined money was spread by the Persians. Finally, the Assyrians were the most common empires that built sculptures, and painted stonework. Even though they weren’t similar with specific details, the three empires were similar. The Egyptian, Persian, and Assyrian empires are different by their religion and their type of government. The Egyptians were polytheistic, or that they believed in many gods. Many of the Egyptians believed their animals were sacred because they believed in animal gods. Persians, on the other hand, practiced the religion, Zoroastrianism, a pre-Islamic religion. Assyrians had a chief god, Ashur and had temples which were large ziggurats made of mud. Furthermore, Egyptians run a government that was based on religion.
Because these empires had differences, they are unique in their own ways. The Egyptian, Persian, and Assyrian empires were similar by their government organization, innovations, and their military. Besides their similarities, they are different by their religion and type of government.
