Ancient Egypt's theocracy centered on the divinity of the Pharaoh, who was seen as a god and the high priest. Aside from the Pharaoh, Egyptians worshipped several gods representing natural forces. Over time, religious practices evolved with notable shifts such as Akhenaten establishing Aten as the one, true god.
The theocracy of ancient Egypt was predicated on the belief in the divinity of the Pharaoh, who was not merely a political figure, but also served as the high priest and was revered as a god. This concept was very prominent in ancient Egyptian culture, making it very unique compared to contemporaries like Mesopotamia. The king of the united Egypt was instrumental in uniting the lands by performing religious rituals to honor the different gods worshipped up and down the Nile River valley.
Aside from the Pharaoh, Ancient Egyptians were polytheists and worshipped many deities who controlled the forces of nature such as Re, Isis, and Osiris. Over time, these religious practices saw changes, with Pharaoh Akhenaten, for instance, establishing Aten, the sun god, as the one true god. This drastically changed the status quo, making the Pharaoh and his wife Nefertiti intermediaries between the people and their god, and diminishing the power of the priests.
In the early New Kingdom, a previously minor deity, the Thebans' patron god Amun, merged with the patron of the monarchy, Re, becoming known as Amun-Re, manifesting yet another shift in the theocracy of ancient Egypt.

The statement that doesn't describe the importance of the Alaskan Purchase is the one that says that the land lacks of valuable raw materials.
In 1867, US Secretary of State William H. Seward carried out the purchase of Alaska from Russia for US $ 7.2 million. The lack of cash from Russia (in a complicated financial situation) and the fear of losing territory in some future conflict with their British rivals, urged Tsar Alexander II to sell the territory to the United States after the failure in the Crimean War . The purchase became effective on October 18, 1867, today remembered as Alaska Day. Although the purchase was harshly criticized at the time of its occurrence, popularly known to Americans as the "Seward Madness," "Seward's Fridge," or "Andrew Johnson's Polar Bear Park," since it seemed unwise to spend so much money on such a remote region. But finally it was seen as an advantageous business thanks to the discovery of gold in Yukon as well as oil. In the 1890s, the territories of Alaska and the Yukon suffered an exploitation of their mines due to the gold rush, known as the Klondike gold rush, the name of the main deposit, and they continued to be exploited even though the gold reserves declined.
I just took this quiz! :) The answer is A. The land lacks valuable raw materials.
