Did the ancient Egyptians, Minoans, Sumerians and Myceaneans have fundamentally different systems of morality? In what way did their moral views differ?
I'm not asking about the system of social and political organization pe se, but rather their moral and ethical values.

What you want is a comparative reconstruction of Bronze Age era descriptive - not normative - moralities, if I understand you correctly.

I believe you're asking for a PhD thesis, and assuming we even have sources for all listed civilizations, of which I am not sure.

I suppose we could start by comparing funerary rites, the concept of soul, the divinization of kings, holy war, etc.

>Minoan

We know nothing sice their texts have never been translated

>Myceneans

The documents they left don't say much but we know they were a warrior people, that piracy was honorable for them (according to the Odyssey)
