Answer 1

Mesopotamia's and Egypt's social structures were alike in the following two ways:

1. They both utilized slave labor - Both civilizations relied on slave labor for various types of work, including agricultural production, domestic service, and large construction projects.

2. They each had a small ruling class and a large unskilled labor class - Both societies featured a hierarchical structure where a small elite ruling class (such as pharaohs or kings, and priests in both cultures) held significant power and wealth, while the majority of the population comprised unskilled laborers and farmers who performed the manual labor necessary for the economy.
