Compare the natural conditions of Egypt and Mesopotamia. What do they have in common? Are there any differences? Explain why in Egypt the Nile was considered a good god, and in Mesopotamia both rivers (especially the Tigris) were considered evil gods.

The natural conditions of Egypt and Mesopotamia are very similar. Full-flowing rivers with clear water flowed through their lands. This also causes dependence on agriculture. But the course of the Nile River in the places of residence of the Egyptians had a calm current with a stable channel. And in Mesopotamia, in places of mass settlement of people, the rivers often had a stormy and impetuous character. Coming down from the mountains, fed by many small rivers and streams, they carry a destructive force. After snowmelt in the mountains, they turned into a direct threat. These rivers often changed their course. The Tiger was especially distinguished. For this reason, the people of Egypt lived relatively calmly in the valleys, and the people of Mesopotamia did not settle near rivers.
