Answer:

C) The Epic of Gilgamesh

Explanation:

The Epic of Gilgamesh is an ancient Sumerian tale, regarded as the most ancient work of literature that survived to this day. It was written in Cuneiform, the oldest form of scripture that was invented by the Sumerians around 3500 BCE. This epic tells the story of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk, who started a quest throughout the world in search of immortality. This journey takes him to the ends of the world, where he meets the wise and immortal Utnapishtim, a survivor of the universal flood.

The influence of this work in the Bible is recognized and academically accepted. The theme of the Flood shows a direct influence and also the conception of a fruit that confers immortality, which is stolen by the intervention of a snake. Other themes such as the hero-king, the righteous action of the gods, the friendship between the heroes and the importance of dreams, although they appear in both works, are part of a shared cultural matrix.

How did religious beliefs influence the organization of Sumerian society?
muminat
Sumerian belief that humans are created to serve and obey the gods. They developed a hierarchy of importance based on the persons' close relationship with god. 
From most important to least important, the list of groups are Kings, Priests and Priestesses, Commoners, and Slaves. 

They believe that kings of every city have divine authority, therefore, those who are not kings are tasked to serve and obey the kings. 

The second most important group of people in the society are priests and priestesses. The Sumerians believe that gods speak through the priests and priestesses; thus, political powers were granted to them. The priests and priestesses also enjoy living in lavish homes as part of being of noble class.

Commoners labored for the estates, which were attached to the temples.

Slaves worked for Temple officials.

To what extent did forgeign interventions of non European nations and people influence the outcome of WWI
KiRa [710]

The First World War destroyed empires, created numerous new nation-states, encouraged independence movements in Europe’s colonies, forced the United States to become a world power and led directly to Soviet communism and the rise of Hitler. Diplomatic alliances and promises made during the First World War, especially in the Middle East, also came back to haunt Europeans a century later. The balance of power approach to international relations was broken but not shattered. It took the Second World War to bring about sufficient political forces to embark on a revolutionary new approach to inter-state relations.
