Document: Herodotus The Histories Mid-Fifth Century B.C.E
This document focuses on the Persians and the Eypgtians and the difference between their soeicties. While the Persians shared materials from different cultures their traditions and ways on life were very different. They didn't make sacrifices to the Gods and could only pray for blessings as a group, a single person could make a prayer themselves. They had to pray for something for the whole community. While Persians were for their different traditions. Egyptians also had some ways of life that people wondered strange. Such as growing out their hair when mourning. Or continuing to live along side animals. Especially since many culture during the ancient period felt this is how humans are sepreatefrom animals is how they remain civil.
