Pyramidal structures in their religion, government, social structures and architectural designs of their buildings are the most common similarities we can find they had in common during their existence on earth.
In addition to all these commonalities we can say they are obvious, we find other important ones as follows:
- Blood type "B" has been found in all three civilizations. This type of blood shows the most clearly defined geographic distribution.
-The Afterlife concept we believe is the main commonality shared by the three civilizations.
The Incas and the mayas thought that the cave structures were the gateways to the world of the dead. They both strongly believed in the judgment placed on those going to their final journey and their quest upon the salvation of the soul in order to continue their living as spirits in the eternal world.
As an example of this belief we can mention the last Inca Atahualpa. He asked to be hanged instead of being dead by fire because he had the clear understanding that by fire he definitely would be left without soul and body. In other words, no after life.
The Egyptians also had the thought of their afterlife as a secondary and eternal life. For them it was a dimension where even the physical objects, wives, children, servants and slaves that the Pharaoh had in the earth were considered as part of his spiritual one. All of them shared the same belief and in an act of loyalty all departed with their master, and shared the same tomb. That is the reason why all these people have been found in Egyptian tombs of Pharaohs.
-The Incas, Mayas and Egyptians had the common belief that Gods had the power to make themselves manifested on Earth, to rule those whom they felt to be inferior to them in the understanding and knowledge of the powers of the world. Their believe in them is the most unique and common trait that dominated their cultures and that belief was so powerful enough to made them rule their world .
