    In the very early ancient times, mankind did not attribute human psychological processes like thinking to be the work of the brain. They thought whatever was inside someone’s body did not differ from what was inside an animal’s body.

    The ancient Egyptians, for instance, believed that there was a little person who dwelt within the skull and regulated human behavior. On the other hand, the Greek thought the soul resided in the heart. Basing on these facts, the differences between the Greeks and Egyptians is found greatly in their religion.

    Greeks believed in a dialogue with the gods while the Egyptians believed the gods had complete power and their will could not change. Therefore, the Greeks used logic while the Egyptians saw everything based on religion and magic.
