The Epic Of Gilgamesh In Sumerian

Музыка

The EPIC OF GILGAMESH is the earliest great work of literature that we know of, and was first written down by the Sumerians around 2100 B.C.
Ancient Sumer was the land that lay between the two rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates, in Mesopotamia. The language that the Sumerians spoke was unrelated to the Semitic languages of their neighbors the Akkadians and Babylonians, and it was written in a syllabary (a kind of alphabet) called "cuneiform". By 2000 B.C., the language of Sumer had almost completely died out and was used only by scholars (like Latin is today). No one knows how it was pronounced because it has not been heard in 4000 years.
What you hear in this video are a few of the opening lines of part of the epic poem, accompanied only by a long-neck, three-string, Sumerian lute known as a "gish-gu-di". The instrument is tuned to G - G - D, and although it is similar to other long neck lutes still in use today (the tar, the setar, the saz, etc.) the modern instruments are low tension and strung with fine steel wire. The ancient long neck lutes (such as the Egyptian "nefer") were strung with gut and behaved slightly differently. The short-neck lute known as the "oud" is strung with gut/nylon, and its sound has much in common with the ancient long-neck lute although the oud is not a fretted instrument and its strings are much shorter (about 25 inches or 63 cm) as compared to 32 inches (82 cm) on a long-neck instrument.
For anyone interested in these lutes, I highly recommend THE ARCHAEOMUSICOLOGY OF THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST by Professor Richard Dumbrill.
The location for this performance is the courtyard of Nebuchadnezzar's palace in Babylon. The piece is four minutes long and is intended only as a taste of what the music of ancient Sumer might have sounded like.

    The oldest stories ever written, reference older stories that were never written. And the Epic of Gilgamesh was written by a scholar mourning the civilizations that perished before his and recalling oral traditions that were then as old as the Epic is now.

    This song reminded me of the time I wanted to buy some copper. I sent my servant over to the baazar to find a merchant who sold copper at a reasonable price. He found one but when he came back, the quality was terrible. I was so furious I screamed "What in Kur is this shit?!?!?!?!" at the top of my lungs. I wrote a complaint to him but from what I heard, the merchant kept it like a trophy. So I would like to end this review by saying: don't ever buy copper from Ea Nasir.

    If someone has attempted to find in the Epic of Gilgamesh the (first) lines here sung and hasn't found them, it's because these lines don't strictly belong to the Epic as such, but to another cycle usually called "Gilgamesh, Enkiddu and the Netherworld", which aren't included in the "orthodox" editions of the poem, but rather added (and not always) as a supplement in the form of a "chapter XII" (the "orthodox" poem ends at chapter XI). There are current debates as to whether this poem should or shouldn't be considered organical part of the poem, but the consensus to this day has preferred to exclude it. So, the first lines sung in this video are not from the Epic of Gilgamesh, but from the complementary poem "Gilgamesh, Enkiddu and the Netherworld".

    Johan Fouche but surely you must realize there was that first person to ever make bread. It doesn’t matter if other cultures also developed it, bread is a man made object. Someone HAD to invent bread and spread it to other people. Like with houses! I’m sure there was that one early human who decided to prop up sticks and logs to create his own dwelling. That person is the inventor of the house. Although of course we can never know who they were because of how long ago that was. Bread is not like fire, bread is not a natural occurrence it had to be thought of by a human and crafted like any object. Granted the method of creating fire was also a manmade process but fire itself is a natural occurrence that does not need the help of man to occur. But bread as a physical object needs to be handmade by a person, and for that to happen someone needed to invent it using their own method. Also of course you know you’re correct, everyone knows that they themselves are correct. If someone knew they were wrong they would change their point of view. I think your views on people of color are outdated and ignorant. I don’t care if you have stereotypes and “observations” on other races that doesn’t make it right.

We find cultures, languages, musical instruments that sound and feel so completely different, almost alien. But yet we’ve always been human. One of the finds that touched me the most was the burial of 2 identical twins, buried side by side, covered in ochre, both holding a finely made necklace with what appeared to be amulets. Their oval grave was covered by a big mammoth shoulder blade, carefully carved to fit the grave. They where burried together on the banks of the Danube, what must have been a place with a magnificent view. The grave is 30.000 years old. To think all those eons ago 2 people loved, cared, mourned and grieved their lost little beans. And gave them a dignified and loving resting place. To look at it is to look at us, same as us. But 30.000 years old… Just thinking of it i feel tears. It’s touching.

    ​@@haltingultraman7147 the first time Gilgamesh saw Enkidu in his dream, he fucked him. In the dream before that Enkidu was an axe which was the symbol of confused/bisexual sexuality and Gilgamesh fucked it too. Gilgamesh's mother told him that he'd love Enkidu as wife. Their friendship started with a kiss. They laid together. It was normal for a slave and a master to have romantic relationships. Gilgamesh literally rejected the Goddess of Beauty by saying he has Enkidu and he's enough for him. The line between friends and gay lovers were non existent back then in most of Ancient Mesopotamia, as far as I know, since the whole concept of marriage revolved around having children to continue a lineage and sex was a carnal thing. Sure, by the times standarts they were really really close friends. However, by todays standarts they would be count as lovers, however much value that might hold.

    Nowadays, everyone's all on their clay tablets all the time, they really don't do sieges like they used to. I still remember popping over at the starch beer bar with the boys and returning home after looting another one of those savages down the Euphrates...darn, those were the days.

    This brings back memories of when me and my friend Sumah would wade through the deserts of Mesopotamia listening to this song. We would travel far and wide to find bread and we would meet up with another friend of ours, Shulgi, to have lunch together. Afterwards, we would finish off the day by buying books from Gilgamesh. This is very nostalgic for me, I thank you for this excellent performance.
