records left behind by ancient mesopotamians and egyptians show that they struggled with the following fundamental problems of human existence:

□ the place of humanity in history
□ the nature of human relationships
□ the nature of warfare
□ the role of divine forces in the universe
□ the nature of the universe
□ the nature of architecture

Explanation:

• Ancient Mesopotamians and Egyptians had records (like myths, legal codes, religious texts) that reflect their thoughts on humanity’s place in history (e.g., creation myths, historical chronicles), human relationships (e.g., family, social hierarchies in legal/religious texts), the role of divine forces (religious beliefs, temple records), and the nature of the universe (cosmological myths). Warfare was a part of their societies, but their records less centrally focus on "the nature of warfare" as a fundamental existential problem. Architecture was a practical/cultural endeavor, not an existential problem core to their human existence inquiries. The nature of the universe was explored via cosmology.
• So the applicable options are the place of humanity in history, the nature of human relationships, the role of divine forces in the universe, and the nature of the universe.

Answer:

• the place of humanity in history
• the nature of human relationships
• the role of divine forces in the universe
• the nature of the universe
