=Government=

Ancient Egypt:
In Ancient Egypt, the government was dominated by a pharaoh, who the people thought it was a living god. Government was also theocracy, which is a form of government where a state is governed by a divine guidance specially when a state is ruled by a clergy or by people known as divinely guided.Clergy is a group of priests which govern. The Pharaoh's servants and ministers were almost always priests because they were considered the only ones trustworthy and able to work out/carry out the god-king's commands. Akhenaten, one of many ancient Egyptian pharaohs, is maybe the best known for his loyalty to one god when the rest of the world, adored several gods. He is the only god who governed with monotheistic religion.

Monotheism is the believe of one god different from Polytheism which is believing in more than one god. Both are quite different from Atheism which is believing in any god or gods.

here is Akhenaten:

Ancient Maya:
Government was an important part of the Ancient Maya civilization. Priests ran governments and ceremonies, ruled cities and do many other jobs. Every day, they will offer of their services after climbing hundreds of temple steps. There's a possibility that the Maya priests have caused the collapse of Ancient Maya when Mayan farmers got tired of having to obey the Priests' commands and abandoned the cities. Mayan rulers lived in stoned palaces near the ceremonial centers of their cities with their servants. here is a mayan ceremonial center, which is in Chiapas, Mexico:

One of the very well-known Mayan ruler was Lord Pacal. Pacal was a priest/ruler/king for about 50 years before he died. Here is Pacal:

Rulers also had complete control over all the farmlands and villages. Always a groups of nobles helped the rulers to govern the cities, and warriors helped defend the cities from other mayan groups. The prisoners that they obtained throughout some battles helped for more power and for blood in rituals to please the Mayan gods.

Conclusion:
In my opinion I think the Egyptian government was better in the needs of the community because it was more fair. For example, Mayas had slaves and prisioners which were part of the community and all the farmlands and villages were under control of the rulers. Personally I think Maya is better and more organized with the warriors and all those people but, for the needs of the community I think Egypt it's just a bit better.
