From the account given in this essay, a major difference between ancient Egyptian culture and modern American culture is "The Egyptians worshiped their rulers as gods, unlike us."

We are talking about the essay "Pharaoh at Home," written by James Baikie. In the essay, Baikie wrote that "For the King of Egypt is a very great man indeed; in fact, his people look upon him, and he looks upon himself, as something more than a man. There are many gods in Egypt; but the god whom the people know best, and to whom they pay the most reverence, is their King."

The ancient Egyptians considered the King as an anointed one from the Gods. Its representant here on Earth, that is why the Pharaoh was worshiped as a God and lived in luxurious temples where he possed great wealth.
