i got it wiggly,its bloody good,if true and all should take a peek The Epic of Gilgamesh is the story of King Gilgamesh of Uruk who oppresses his people. As punishment, the gods send him a companion, Enkidu, who is his mirror image and becomes his good friend. Together, Gilgamesh and Enkidu defy the gods by killing the giant Humbaba, cutting down the sacred cedar forest which he guards, and killing the Bull of Heaven. Enkidu has ominous dreams of the destiny of tyrants who become slaves in the House of Death. Enkidu finally dies of an illness sent by the gods. Horrified by Enkidu's death and the prospect of his own demise, Gilgamesh undertakes a quest for immortality which brings him to the abode of Utnapishtim, a virtuous man who obeys the gods and was saved by them from the Great Flood. Utnapishtim puts Gilgamesh to various tests which he fails and eventually sends him away, assuring him that he cannot escape death. A humbled Gilgamesh returns to Uruk and orders his story to be inscribed in stone make a great film

The Epic of Gilgamesh History was stolen ! and then you know the rest criticalbelievers.proboards.com/thread/21013/geoffrey-robertson-book-owns-historyThe Epic of Gilgamesh, Lecture by Andrew George Harvard Semitic Museum Andrew George, Professor of Babylonian, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London The Epic of Gilgamesh is a 4,000-year-old Mesopotamian poem about a hero who embarks on an arduous quest to find the secret of immortality. Preserved on clay tablets in cuneiform script, it is generally considered to be the earliest great work of literature to survive from the ancient world. In this illustrated lecture, Andrew George, author of a prize-winning translation of the Epic of Gilgamesh, explores four themes related to this Babylonian masterpiece: the archaeology of the poem’s recovery, the reconstruction of its text, the story it tells, and its messages about life and death. Presented in collaboration with the Departments of Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations and Comparative Literature, with the support of the Provostial Fund for the Arts and Humanities, Harvard University criticalbelievers.proboards.com/thread/11297/ancient-assyrian-dictionary-finally-completedcriticalbelievers.proboards.com/thread/19268/dead-scrolls-noahs-shaped-pyramidcriticalbelievers.proboards.com/thread/19269/year-stub-reveals-workers-payedcriticalbelievers.proboards.com/thread/18190/noah-biblical-tale-rewritten-agendacriticalbelievers.proboards.com/thread/15452/robert-temple-secret-tomb-revealedcriticalbelievers.proboards.com/thread/14276/wrong
