Like the Egyptians, the Greeks created larger-than-life figures that faced front, with their arms held stiffly at their sides. Later Greek sculptors made more realistic statues in natural poses, showing muscles, hair, and clothing in much greater detail.
All of todays religion is influenced by Egyptian religious ideas. The 'Holy Trinity' existed in Egypt (Osiris, Isis and Horus, compared to Zeus, Perspepherone and Hera in Greek, Mary Joseph and Jesus in Christianity etc) Greece also had the idea of many Gods (polytheistic) like Egypt, and the priesthoods were set up in a similar fashion.
The people who 'founded' Egypt are the same people founding 'religions' since the dawn of mankind. Reasonable thought and one can see the same threads and ideas running through them all.
The egytian primyds helped factor into the discovery of geomatry that Greeks discovered, made, and refined
