Compare and contrast of ancient cultures

Religious beliefs :
In babylon there is nothing explains exactly what they have bilieved in. But in the epic of creation, its explains how the god Marduk killed the goddess Tiamat, he used her half body to creat the earth and the other half to creat both of the paradise of šamû and the netherworld of irṣitu. but Phoenician religion was inspired by the powers and processes of nature. Many of the gods they worshiped, however, were localized and are now known only under their local names. A pantheon was presided over by the father of the gods, but a goddess was the principal figure in the Phoenician pantheon. Ancient egypt has bilieved in gods  at the beggening there was 5 religion groups that had different beliefs. Everytime there was a new pharoah or a ruler they would bring with them a new religion idea „When someone rose in power, their belief system rose as well”  as a conclusion the three empires has believed in gods and goddesses but they have deferent ideas.
Writing system :
Babylonians developed an abstract form of writing based on cuneiform symbols. Their symbols were written on wet clay tablets. The Phoenician alphabet developed from the Proto-Canaanite alphabet and it was probably the first widly spread alphabet. The ancient Egyptians believed that writing was invented by the god Thoth and called their hieroglyphic script.
Geography:
Babylonia was situated in the area  of Mesopotamia which is modern Iraq. Two great rivers flowed through this land: the Tigris and the Euphrates. Phoenician empire was located on the Mediterranean coast north of Palestine, in what today is bebanon and syria. Egypt was loctaed next to the nile river on north africa. So as a conclusion all of them were locted next to a water sources such as a see or a river
Agriculture advances :
In babylon  and egypt It did not rain much, but the early settlers how to irrigate and to grow crops  quickly. These early people built canals to bring water to the land from the rivers. They raised sheep, goats, and cows. They hunted wild game birds and other animals. The Phoenicians didn't really have a significant agriculture system due to the fact they had the Meditteranean.
Social structure:
In babylon kings were at the top and the slaves were at the very bottom, parents would also sell their children as slaves in the time that the really need to, and they would also kill their children as a scrifice to the gods. In every Phoenician city, the wealthy merchant aristocrats had certain rights protecting them from the full strength of the law. Under the aristocracy, were the lesser businessmen, craftsmen, dealers, shopkeepers and entrepreneurs. Below this group in social standing were the normal working man, and at the bottom, slaves. The picture here explains the social structure of Egypt:  as a conclusion all three of them had a kings and slaves.
