The Egyptians

Throughout the centuries there have been many civilizations that have come and gone. There are civilizations that leave legacy's behind and there have been civilizations who have shaped the way their lifestyle is in inquired. The Chinese, the Romans and the Egyptians have all left legacies behind in their own different ways but if you look closely to the facts, you can see that threecivilizations have something's in common. If you compare Rome to the Egyptians, there is a 3056 year difference. Very different time period but you can see similarities between the two if you look at how they both believed in a variety of different gods and belief system until the Romans converted into Christianity around 30 BCE.
