Gilgamesh is the kind of guy who will send a priestess to fuck the guy seven days straight to stop him from fucking with hunters, wrestle him and become best bros with him. I LOVE the character development. They teach us to appreciate what we have and what we have gained, and that death is inevitable so we must make our lives glorious. They teach that even the strongest of men still aren't perfect, after all he was one third human and humans are NOT perfect

Which translation is this? I have a goal to read every English translation of certain books, but I’m having trouble finding it in the description.

Listen to Guile's Theme during the introductory description of Gilgamesh.

Sounds kind of like Captain Picard, nice

The first recorded monomyth. This recording is sure rough. Love the narrator. But that background sounds like he's talking through a few layers of cellophane and the background talking is sure distracting.

I feel you on that one...I've got ADHD, so i tend to easily lose focus, and read the same spot over and over again w/o it making any sense. Hearing it on audio helps to hold my attention. When I was a Senior in hs, we had to read 1984 and Farenheight 451 for Civics...the books made so much more sense to me on tape. It was harder to come by the needed audio bc i'm a Gen X'er, and the 'net was just being introduced, so i thank my lucky stars that my Civics teacher let me borrow audio tape of both books. I'm grateful to her for teaching how I learn.

The Sumerian and Babylonian versions both have some substantial lacunas (gaps), a few of them quite large. This version seems to omit some of them altogether. It also fills in gaps in a few places as best as the translator could guess. I'd call it a compilation of versions, rather than saying it's definitely from only one. Just my opinion.

Different mythologies(although parts of Hebrew mythology appear to have been copied from the epic of Gilgamesh). Gilgamesh only seems to be slightly superhuman, which makes me think that if Gilgamesh were to face Samson and Heracles they would all be pretty much equal, all 3 are supposed to be the strongest of men with their strength coming from a supernatural source.

Is Gilgamesh ORION?

Haaaaha ,at 6:08 " as strong as a STAR In the heavens "........yup yup - that's the fallens description .......Left Their first Estate - kicked out. 13:39 ........." You will love him like a woman " ...... being specific with that description mean's Ole Gill would be polking the one from the hill's , batty polking king 😳 .

I love how blatanly obvious the early Israelites just stole the flood myth from this Epic. Sure, there were probably some flood myths before even this one, but even so. How can you believe a story at such face value when you can so easily see through the whole thing?

Is it a blatantly obvious rip off? Or is it possible that there was flooding all around the world in early human history that was passed down through oral tradition. Considering there are flood myths in cultures all around the world even those who had no proximity to mesopotamian people like the sumerians and babyloniansor nor those of the levantine region like judea and the kingdom of israel. Because even south american civilizations have similar flood myths as well as aboriginal australians, polynesians, indians, and all the way to northern europeans as the Vikings even had similar myths. I think rather than the unlikeliness that everyone copied each other or instead of everyone coincidentally making up the same story, maybe world wide flooding happened. If you look into the last ice age and how many shallow parts of the ocean used to be above water, world wide flooding actually seems more likely.

@BoarhideGaming

2 жыл бұрын

@@kaynesovereign9372 I could let it pass, if you said that most flood myths which did in fact develop independently (which the Hebrew myth objectively did not) were based on a common fear of early civilisations. Like most cultures around the world have some sort dragon myth, despite dragons, obviously, being made up. Everyone is scared of snakes, and of big predatory birds, and here and there, some cultures may have dug up a dinosaur skull by accident. That may be the origin of dragons. I would agree that places like Doggerland or the islands off Australia, that were dry and populated just a few dozen millennia ago, before the sea slowly rose due to climate and tectonic changes, those places might have transferred into collective memory as basis flood myths. But a global flood as described in Gilgamesh’s story, or that of the Hebrews, since it’s nearly wird for word the same? Laughable to even consider. Eye witness accounts are the weakest kind of evidence, if any, and once they’ve gone through a few thousand years of Chinese whispers, translation errors and accidental or purposeful misinterpretations? They’re nothing to base an argument on. Not even close.

Abrahamic theism is exactly that. A carrier for the common monomyth shared with everyone. I present, Moses from Exodus and Jason from Greek Argonautica. Just a few easy steps from a vast network of these. 1. Calling - Both saved as kids. 2. Cyclical pain - Harpies defile Phineas' food daily. Egypt has ten plagues. 3. Supernatural Aid - Jason taken to Mt Olympus to talk to Zeus and gains favors from Goddess Hera. Moses to Mt Horeb to talk to Yahweh and gets the magical staff. 4. Struggle to leave past - Jason and Island of Old Gods. Moses and Pharaoh. Both leave but are chased. 5. Crossing of the Threshold - Jason invokes a Gods help to sail through the clashing Rocks. Moses invokes Gods help to run through the Red Sea. Both barely get through. Etc. The Bible is framed on a common template which predates anything Jewish. Most carry the Ark. A few look inside. How well do people know the Bible? Only a few know its true secrets. They might as well worship Zeus and await the return of Jason. Or worship Krishna and await the return of Arjuna.
