What are some social differences between mesopotamia and egypt

Ancient Egypt had a different political structure from Mesopotamia. In ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh was considered to be the representative of the gods on earth. The citizens of ancient Egypt believed that their Pharaoh was a god, and refrained from looking directly at his face even when addressed by him (Richards & Van Buren, 2000). The majority of noblemen who were appointed to significant positions in ancient Egypt were related to the Pharaoh. Upon his death, only a son of the Pharaoh could succeed him. In ancient Mesopotamia, society consisted of self-governing regional states for ten centuries before Sargon the Great was proclaimed as king in 2370 BCE (Brisch et al., 2008). The citizens of Mesopotamia, however, did not consider the king or his successors to be divine. In Mesopotamia, most of the scribes were the members of noble families and not related to ruling kings.
