Sure! Here are the answers based on the chart provided:
**Question 1: What type of religion did Egypt and Mesopotamia have in common?**
- **Correct Answer:** polytheism
- **Why:** Both Egypt and Mesopotamia practiced polytheism, which is the belief in multiple gods. This is indicated in the chart where both societies are listed under "Polytheism."
**Question 2: According to the chart, who is credited with the creation of sails?**
- **Correct Answer:** Mesopotamia
- **Why:** The chart specifically states that Mesopotamia had significant technological developments including the creation of sails, while it does not attribute this innovation to Egypt.
**Question 3: Why did Egyptians view their gods as good and Mesopotamians view their gods as punishing?**
- **Correct Answer:** Egyptian gods gave beneficial floods and Mesopotamian gods gave torrential floods
- **Why:** The chart indicates that Egyptian gods were seen as good because they provided predictable and beneficial flooding from the Nile River, which was essential for agriculture. In contrast, the unpredictable and sometimes destructive flooding of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers led Mesopotamians to view their gods as punitive, requiring appeasement to prevent disaster.
