ld" suggest about the kind of government Gilgamesh ruled over? I will proclaim to the world the deeds of Gilgamesh. This was the man to whom all things were known; this was the king who knew the countries of the world. He was wise, he saw mysteries and knew secret things…When the gods created Gilgamesh they gave him a perfect body.

Correct answer:  

B.  The government was a monarchy.

<u>King</u> and <u>monarch</u> are synonyms.  "Monarch" means "one ruler" or "sole ruler."  In a monarchy, a king or queen rules with supreme authority over a country or region.   Gilgamesh is referred to as "the king who knew the countries of the world," so he is being described as a monarch.  There are also elements of theocracy in the excerpt, since the gods create Gilgamesh as part divine and part human to rule over his kingdom.  But the phrase "the <u>king</u> who knew the countries of the world" identifies the style of government mainly as monarchy.

The Epic of Gilgamesh comes from ancient Mesopotamia, dating back to around 2100 BC.  It is one of the oldest surviving examples of ancient literature, a compilation of poems telling the story of Gilgamesh,  king of the Mesopotamian city-state Uruk.

What are the issues with the muslims getting Independence?
mihalych1998 [28]
If you mean middle eastern countries the problem with them gaining independence is that they govern solely based on religion (or Shariah law). This limits freedom of expression. An example of this is that if you're gay, or don't subscribe to the Muslim religion you are executed. In extreme cases such as the middle east it can be a very cruel religion. That's why it's so controversial. You should also check out the youtuber Eazyonme. He used to live in Pakistan, which is a Muslim country and speaks about the messed up stuff that goes down there because of Shariah Law. I hope this helped you.
