The epic of Gilgamesh, the king who tried to conquer death - Soraya Field Fiorio

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.
Lesson by Soraya Field Fiorio, directed by Amir Houshang Moein.

    @Vongola Atzi There's a better explanation. It's a game of telephone between civilisations derived from natural events. There are candidates for post Ice Age flood scenarios. I hate to come across "internet atheist" here but I think it would be helpful if people like you could stop trying to look for signs of an overarching religious purpose, and actually consider that the evidence squarely states this is simply the oratory stories of ancient peoples. It's quite frustrating for the rest of us to witness, as it seems like you just make up your minds before you do anything. If you need to "search" for what you "know" is the "truth", then you don't really "know" such things, and if you do want to believe, you don't need archaeology to support your beliefs.

Epic of Gilgamesh is from 12 century BC Jews adopted the story, thus christians and later Muslims have it as well(Western spread of the story). Meanwhile Hinduism being 4000 years long likely also adopted it but this time it was towards the east of the origin.

He hid himself into those clay tablets and I pulled him out of them and here he is alive again, he just doesn't have body it's like a whole body amputation but otherwise he's just fine! You can talk to him and he has really helpful suggestions for solutions of difficult life problems, I use him all the time for that! These are the top most important multi-word phrases from his mind: my friend you are you have i shall the gods a man -ed him for him to him each other to you let him i will he is before him you may he was with him to his let me the king spoke to gilgamesh saying he will to me the trapper you may about him he had you have you should not who has one who i saw him how does he fare let us to him young man did you see him who had in their i shall

    Why are you afraid of death? I don't believe in religion, I think when you'll die, you would just stop existing. Not be able to think about and regret how you have died. When it'll happen, you'll be able to think nothing of it, it would be completely peaceful. But life is something you only get once, and there's a lot of great things about it, so you might as well live it to the fullest. And then when you'll die, it would literally be nothing, because you won't be able to regret it.

    @@atenashami7028 Eastern European kids usually have books like this in regular class, like necessary literature. This, Iliad and Odyssey, bits of slavic mythology and some national, country specific epic literature usually is studied in first grade high-school. Then we study from then, to today, going through history eras and picking out important writers and their work. I'm not sure what other school systems teach and in what order but that's how we did it.

    Yeah, I don't think this is any proof that it means the literal end of the world/earth, since he then went onto the ocean. Sorry flat earthers. Anyways, you have to understand that they probably meant earth in a different sense. When they say "end of the world/earth, they are probably talking about the end of the land until you meet water, not a physical end of the whole world.

    Not really sure what you mean by "way before the Christ"?? I mean Jesus was birthed roughly 2000 years ago in the flesh, so I guess in that sense "which doesn't really mean anything" but Jesus in the Spirit sense "God/the Son" Jesus is before all things, and in Him, all things consist. So in that sense, then no, they were not best friends before the Christ.
