Hello, here is uneducated hooligan reporting for duty !

So, first of all, I'd say plain African associates better with Po-Matoran than Egyptian in my opinion. I just don't really see them building pyramids and playing around with sand and slaves and stuff. I think it would suit more Sa-Matoran, if ever you plan to add them to your universe. So yeah, I can visualize Po-Matoran living in huts with kind of a tribal system, and ornaments and stuff, like traditional Africa.

Now as far as the other Matoran are concerned, here are some thoughts : That's all I've got. Hope I didn't offend anyone speaking about civilisations and societies like that x)
 * Ga-Matoran : Ancient Greece. Because they're wise, reasonable, empathetic, they have this kind of philosopher's mind. Also many of them were teachers, I think. And finally, it would make them opposed to the Ta-Matoran because they're roman, so you have this kind of schism Rome/Greece and Fire/Water that could be interesting to develop.
 * Ba-Matoran : I think I just see them living like modern-day occidental society. You know, tech-savvy, open to the world, and such things. Although I do realize this could contradict with their virtue being Humility, since it really isn't a word I'd use to describe modern-day society. Eh, worth a thought.
 * De-Matoran : This one's not actually a civilisation, but I think it'd be nice if they were living like monks in monasteries. Quiet place, solitary, reserved, scholars... Their virtue is Harmony so it could work well with the religious analogy, and so would the kind of sectarism idea too, that they are reclusive and secretive, doing things on their own hidden from the world.
