The Egyptians are logistically Hamitic(African). Where as the Mesopotamians and Hebrews were Semitic. The Egyptians and Mesopotamians (Assyrian and Babylonian Empires) had great empires whereas the Hebrews did not. The Egyptians had a pictograph language whereas the others where phonetic. The Hebrews came from Ur of the Caldian lands in southern Mesopotamia and lived in Egypt for 400+ years. The Babylonians conquered bother Egypt and Israel and Judea (The Hebrew Kingdoms.) The Hebrews and the Egyptians never conquered Mesopotamia. The Egyptians and Mesopotamians were poly theistic where as the Hebrews believed in one God although He talks to himself as different persons (see Christian Trinity) in the Genesis 1-5 or so. All three were into trade and were very industrious people which have left posterity much history and art. Go read Herodotus again you are way off base. He doesn't even mention the Hebrews.
Just a few things off the top of my head. 5 points would be good if I have been helpful. Good luck and God bless.
PS "IF your not going to do other peoples homework" don't state it just don't respond. That's what people say on yahoo when they don't know the answer and want 2 points anyway.

Alright, firstly...Jesus was BORN Jewish, he did not convert. His deciples were the ones who created the beginnings of Christianity after he was killed by Pontius Pilate in i think 1bce. The hebrews have always been jewish, its just that over time the rituals ceremonies and traditions have changed or developed into what is Judaism today. Mohammed started islam, he didn't convert to islam. the Jews are the rightful owners of israel, but the dispute is that the muslims that lived in israel BEFORE 1948 were both kicked out or fled. I think the muslims who lived in Israel before 1948 should be brought back, but not after. The palestinians are in a horrible situation because no other arab country wants to deal with them or take them in so they are stuck with the israelis for the time being.

They are pretty much one in the same. Herodotus, also known as the father of modern history, stated that in ancient times the entire region from modern day ethiopia to present day India was known as Ethiopia and all of its inhabitants were black. The only difference was that Ethiopians in India had straight hair and Ethiopians in Africa had curly hair. And Hebrews and Mesopotamians lived in the region between Ethiopia and India so they were included also. Also the hebrews spent centuries in Egypt so it could be said that their cultures were pretty much the same.

First off, I assume you mean Ancient Egypt, and what do you mean by Hebrew (Hebrew wasn't a country)

Any history book on the ancient near east will be useful.

Go to Wikipedia.org or enter a search on Google.com.
Research a little. There are plenty of sites with information on these groups. If you do it yourself, you'll get the information you need.

sweet heart, you should be so interested in this question as it is the answer to all the problems in the middle east. Do your reading then come back here and ask a specific question. Not going to do your work for you, I swear you can't learn that way.
