Depends on what you're doing with them I guess. Both are pretty fucking cool and have interesting interpretations of life. Egyptians (specifically pharaohs I don't remember if this applies to normal people) had their fucking hearts weighed against a feather to see if they were good or bad. Greeks also had an interesting religion that was copied by the Romans. Both are fun to read/learn about. I guess I'd go with greek but my real answer is Roman mythology because even though they copied the pantheon you can't beat a god that's purpose is to kill you for sleeping on the job.

The real truth to the universe though is that furries did everything.

>Thou appearest beautifully on the horizon of heaven,
>Thou living Aton, the beginning of life!
>When thou art risen on the eastern horizon,
>Thou hast filled every land with thy beauty.
>Thou art gracious, great, glistening, and high over every land;
>Thy rays encompass the lands to the limit of all that thou hast made:
>As thou art Re, thou reachest to the end of them;
> (Thou) subduest them (for) thy beloved son.
>Though thou art far away, thy rays are on earth;
>Though thou art in their faces, no one knows thy going.
>When thou settest in the western horizon,
>The land is in darkness, in the manner of death.
>They sleep in a room, with heads wrapped up,
>Nor sees one eye the other.
>All their goods which are under their heads might be stolen,
> (But) they would not perceive (it).
>Every lion is come forth from his den;
>All creeping things, they sting.
>Darkness is a shroud, and the earth is in stillness,
>For he who made them rests in his horizon.
>At daybreak, when thou arisest on the horizon,
>When thou shinest as the Aton by day,
>Thou drivest away the darkness and givest thy rays.
>The Two Lands are in festivity every day,
>Awake and standing upon (their) feet,
>For thou hast raised them up.
>Washing their bodies, taking (their) clothing,
>Their arms are (raised) in praise at thy appearance.
>All the world, they do their work.
>All beasts are content with their pasturage;
>Trees and plants are flourishing.
>The birds which fly from their nests,
>Their wings are (stretched out) in praise to thy ka.
>All beasts spring upon (their) feeet.
>Whatever flies and alights,
>They live when thou hast risen (for) them.
>The ships are sailing north and south as well,
>For every way is open at thy appearance.
>The fish in the river dart before thy face;
>Thy rays are in the midst of the great green sea.

>Creator of seed in women,
>Thou who makest fluid into man,
>Who maintainest the son in the womb of his mother,
>Who soothest him with that which stills his weeping,
>Thou nurse (even) in the womb,
>Who givest breath to sustain all that he has made!
>When he descends from the womb to breathe
>On the day when he is born,
>Thou openest his mouth completely,
>Thou suppliest his necessities.
>When the chick in the egg speaks within the shell,
>Thou givest him breath within it to maintain him.
>When thou hast made him his fulfillment within the egg, to break it,
>He comes forth from the egg to speak at his completed (time);
>He walks upon his legs when he comes forth from it.
>How manifold it is, what thou hast made!
>They are hidden from the face (of man).
>O sole god, like whom there is no other!
>Thou didst create the world according to thy desire,
>Whilst thou wert alone: All men, cattle, and wild beasts,
>Whatever is on earth, going upon (its) feet,
>And what is on high, flying with its wings.
>The countries of Syria and Nubia, the land of Egypt,
>Thou settest every man in his place,
>Thou suppliest their necessities:
>Everyone has his food, and his time of life is reckoned.
>Their tongues are separate in speech,
>And their natures as well;
>Their skins are distinguished,
>As thou distinguishest the foreign peoples.
>Thou makest a Nile in the underworld,
>Thou bringest forth as thou desirest
>To maintain the people (of Egypt)
>According as thou madest them for thyself,
>The lord of all of them, wearying (himself) with them,
>The lord of every land, rising for them,
>The Aton of the day, great of majesty.

>All distant foreign countries, thou makest their life (also),
>For thou hast set a Nile in heaven,
>That it may descend for them and make waves upon the mountains,
>Like the great green sea,
>To water their fields in their towns.
>How effective they are, thy plans, O lord of eternity!
>The Nile in heaven, it is for the foreign peoples
>And for the beasts of every desert that go upon (their) feet;
> (While the true) Nile comes from the underworld for Egypt.
>Thy rays suckle every meadow.
>When thou risest, they live, they grow for thee.
>Thou makest the seasons in order to rear all that thou hast made,
>The winter to cool them,
>And the heat that they may taste thee.
>Thou hast made the distant sky in order to rise therein,
>In order to see all that thou dost make.
>Whilst thou wert alone,
>Rising in thy form as the living Aton,
>Appearing, shining, withdrawing or aproaching,
>Thou madest millions of forms of thyself alone.
>Cities, towns, fields, road, and river --
>Every eye beholds thee over against them,
>For thou art the Aton of the day over the earth....
>Thou are in my heart,
>And there is no other that knows thee
>Save thy son Nefer-kheperu-Re Wa-en-Re,
>For thou hast made him well-versed in thy plans and in thy strength.
>The world came into being by thy hand,
>According as thou hast made them.
>When thou hast risen they live,
>When thou settest they die.
>Thou art lifetime thy own self,
>For one lives (only) through thee.
>Eyes are (fixed) on beauty until thou settest.
>All work is laid aside when thou settest in the west.
> (But) when (thou) risest (again),
> [Everything is] made to flourish for the king,...
>Since thou didst found the earth
>And raise them up for thy son,
>Who came forth from thy body: the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, ... Ak-en-Aton, ... and the Chief Wife of the King ... Nefert-iti, living and youthful forever and ever.

>Hey there are Gods on that mountain
>yeah you can go up and there is nothing there
If you think greeks believed in their gods and that it wasn't just cultural (almost like superman and spiderman today) you are a fool.

>he'd climb a mountain to see if his gods were real
What's the point of faith then

The Greeks took most of their religion from the Ancient Egyptians anyway

I but you think the Chinese believe there no more than ten thousand things in the universe.
When they said tag ttebvhods reside on the top of mount Olympus that MEANS that they are ABOVE everyone and everything, not that they are literally siting on the mountain
