Answer 1

1. The Egyptians believed in something called the ka (life force) and ba (unique to each individual spiritual characteristics). When a person died, their heart would be weighed by Anubis to determine if they were eligible for the afterlife.

2.  Mohenjo-daro is located west of the Indus River in Larkana District, Sindh, Pakistan, in a central position between the Indus River and the Ghaggar-Hakra River. The civilization of the Indus River at Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa arose at about 2500 BCE and ended with apparent destruction about 1500 BCE. It is uncertain whether this civilization had its roots in Sumer or Sumer had its roots in this civilization.

3. All engaged in large scale irrigation; drawing labor from the population via a system of corvee. All used glyph writing systems; mesopotamia: cunieform, nile: hieroglyphics, yellow: chinese, indus: harrapan script. Differences... there are many differences, geography of course... but the largest one is that the Indus's writing, harrapan script has never been deciphered so historians know the least about it.
