The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The way in that Mesopotamian culture influenced the Hebrews, Israelites, and Jews was the following.
Father Abraham, the patriarch of the ancient Hebrew people, was from the city-state of Ur, an ancient Sumerian city-state, that was one of the most important in the Mesopotamian times, as well as the city-states of Uruk, Lagash, Nippur or Eridu. Abraham's family worshiped the Mesopotamian Gods, but Abraham believed in one God. That is why he decided to leave Ur with his wife Sarah. He believed that this one god he believed in, had promised the Hebrews a special land for them, and that is when they settled in Canaan, modern-day Jewish territory, close to Judah. That is why Hebrews are also known as Jewish.
The Classical Era set the scene. It brought us the major civilizations, religions, and trade routes. But, what happens when all of the major world powers collapse? This is the Post-Classical era. The major world powers come from places you might not expect. There are some powers that are similar to the ones before and the ones after (Byzantine, China). But, the major players in the Post-Classical era come from totally backwards places. One sprouts out of a cave in the Arabian desert. The other comes from the base of a mountain on the steppes in Central Asia. I call this era, Muslims & Mongols. That's not everything, but it just about sums up the basics. (Of course, Trade, Migrations, Religion, and Labor are important...) The Post Classical Era is the FIRST era that represents 20% of the test. From here on out, these eras are worth more than the first two.
