In both Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia the people believed in polytheism, the belief in many gods. The ancients would also sacrifice animals to please the gods and to influence the gods to make life easier for them. Today, it is very different. People today believe in monotheism, the belief in one god. Also today we do not sacrifice animals. We do tho have elaborate temples that are similar to the temples the ancients built. We both used the temples as a place to worship and pray to the god/gods.
