egyptian artwork was focused almostly solely on gods and portrayed people as they were. When portraying a person it would be a pharoah or a family of a pharoah who was ideally like embodied god to them as well.
greek artwork focused on the ideal and that the human body could be perfect and beautiful. unlike egyptian it was mostly marble or stone, not gold

You can take buildings, but as oldskoolrocks said, they belong to very different cultures so they can't be compared.
Egyptian main buildings were tombs, because pharoah was a god and all His/her terrenal life was getting ready to live eternal life. Greeks built cities with "aghoras", places for citizens meeting, business,culture,etc.
If you're talking about sculture or painting the image of human body is completely different. Figures are half to the front and half to the side. Obviusly,Greek images look more real

They were two entirely different cultures, their art is going to be completely different.
