The statement that best describes the government that existed in the Egyptian civilization of the Nile Valley is "Egypt's government controlled nearly all aspects of public life."
The Pharaoh in Egypt was the equivalent of a king. He was the supreme ruler of Egypt that controlled all the aspects of life in Egypt. Most of the Pharaohs in ancient Egypt honored the Sun, Ra, in Egyptian. The Pharaoh was the representant, the chosen one by the gods to rule on Earth. That is why he was wealthy and many pharaohs built palaces or pyramids to be remembered. Egyptians were polytheists, the had so many deities such as Osiris, Isis of Horus.
