Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Dive into the Epic of Gilgamesh, and follow the king of Uruk on a series of dangerous quests as he searches for immortality. In 1849, in the ancient city of Nineveh in Iraq, archaeologists sifted through dusty remains, hoping to find records to prove that Bible stories were true. What they found instead was a 4, 000-year-old story inscribed on crumbling clay tablets a story that was so riveting, the first person to translate it started stripping from excitement. Soraya Field Fiorio tells the epic tale of Gilgamesh. liv: Did not know about Gilgamesh crashing every wedding in his home city and sleeping with all the brides before she can sleep with her new husbands. Does not sound like a very heroic thing to do as some brides may have saved they first time for their husbands.

Ps. : what is up with snakes preventing inmortality. First this, then the hundred headed snake from garden of the Hesperides with the golden apples and then the snake from the garden of eden

Fun fact, the snake that steals the immortality plant loses its old skin and gets new skin immediately after it eats the plant, it's basically the Sumerian way of explaining why snakes do that, pretty neat little myth there.

reply

Life, which you look for, you will never find. For when the gods created man, they let death be his share, and life withheld in their own hands.
reply

Actually, if memory serves me well, Enkidu is described as handsome and with feminine features, and not as a beard human beast with horns.
