Hey Akh,
Though the ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, Eskimos, Cherokee, aboriginal Australians or Mayans did not possess a written revelation from God, as did the Hebrews, they still retained a residue of the divine image, a sense that there is such a thing as ???right and wrong.??? Though that ???awareness??? had been seriously tarnished in many, nonetheless they were expected to live up to their noblest concepts of moral truth. The law of God is written on every heart. God will judge them accordingly.
The Apostle Paul addresses this point very thoroughly in the book of Romans.
+Shamasha
