You're Dead to Me
Epic of Gilgamesh: myths and heroes in ancient Mesopotamia

Instead of being like, I should be less horrible and calm down, he becomes really anxious about death and he embarks on this new quest to attain immortality. So it's quite a self-involved anxious reaction. He turns into a tech billionaire. He's like, I don't want to die. I'm going to live forever.

You're Dead to Me
Epic of Gilgamesh: myths and heroes in ancient Mesopotamia

I'm going to download my consciousness. I'm going to get my son to give me his blood so I can live forever. Okay, so he goes on a quest for immortality. Yes, and he seeks out the wisdom from one of the sole survivors of the Great Flood, the only immortal living man. There is an immortal living woman alongside him that doesn't really get mentioned, unfortunately. She's just his wife. And bird. Yeah.

Epic of Gilgamesh: myths and heroes in ancient Mesopotamia

Juuri niin. HÀn meni eteenpÀin ihmisestÀ nimeltÀ Uta NapishtiÀ, joka oli aiemmin flood storyn versiolla nimeltÀ Atrahasis. Se tarkoittaa sitÀ, ettÀ hÀn on todella helppoa. HÀn on todella helppoa. Ja Uta NapishtiÀ on hÀnen nimensÀ tÀssÀ tarinassa.

TiedÀn, ettÀ on kirjallinen liittyminen Ahtrakhasin myyntiin ja Sumerian jÀrjestelmÀÀn. TÀssÀ Gilgamesh-epikissÀ on tabletti 11, joka kÀsittelee tÀtÀ koko tarinaa. Se kertoo, ettÀ Ahtrakhasin jÀrjestelmÀt olivat muuttuneet ihmisen DNA-ympÀristöön.

Joten kaupungin jatkuu. Se on liian laulaa. He eivÀt pysty nukkumaan. MeidÀn tÀytyy pysyÀ loppuun. Enlil yrittÀÀ. HÀn laittaa lÀpikÀymiÀ ja rikkoja, mutta Eija... HÀn on kutsuttu Enkiin aiemmin, mutta tÀssÀ tarinassa hÀn on Eija.

You're Dead to Me
Epic of Gilgamesh: myths and heroes in ancient Mesopotamia

Again, the mischievous god of wisdom, who we've already talked about, he thwarts all these attempts. So they decide to send down a deluge that will wipe out all life on earth. And they make all the gods and goddesses swear an oath that they will not tell anybody about this. So Eija finds a workaround in that he, instead of telling Atrahasis in the old myth or Uta Napishti in this one directly, he's talking to a wall, which is sort of how I feel when I'm talking to my children 90% of the time.

You're Dead to Me
Epic of Gilgamesh: myths and heroes in ancient Mesopotamia

And so it's through the wall that this man hears a warning that this is to come, and he builds a boat and fills it with the seed of all life. He's the lone survivor of the flood, and because his software doesn't have death built in, he's just living forever with his wife. Yeah, and Gilgamesh is like, he must know how to live forever, so I'm going to go find him so that I don't have to suffer the way Enkidu did.

You're Dead to Me
Epic of Gilgamesh: myths and heroes in ancient Mesopotamia

Okay, so the flood myth is really important. One person is saved. Gilgamesh is desperately trying to get the secret of knowledge. Does he sink or swim in his quest to live forever? Yeah, I mean, it's quite a quest. He basically has to journey beyond the edge of the known world. He goes to Mount Mashu, the Twin Mountains, which is where the sun rises and sets, which is guarded by these half-scorpion, half-human guardians. Awesome.

Epic of Gilgamesh: myths and heroes in ancient Mesopotamia

TÀmÀ on se, mitÀ kutsutaan vanhempana Mesopotamiassa. Esitykset ovat sellaisia, ettÀ kun joku kuolee, hÀn mennÀ ylös kevÀÀlle, ja kevÀÀllinen maailma voi aloittaa kevÀÀllÀ, joten se on tÀllainen tietty alue, joka siirtyy mitologiasta erilaisilla mielenkiintoisilla tavoilla. Joten hÀn ei tarvitse pelata Skorpion-ystÀviÀ, koska he vain katsovat hÀntÀ ja sanovat, ettÀ sinÀ olet yllÀttynyt.

You're Dead to Me
Epic of Gilgamesh: myths and heroes in ancient Mesopotamia

You look like you do with the night out. And then it doesn't sort of get better. He then has to walk through a pitch black tunnel. I can't remember if it's 12 hours or 12 double hours. And then he exits onto this, you know, fantastical supranatural world where the trees are studded with gemstones. And he reaches the sea and speaks to an innkeeper named Shiduri, who also says, wow, you look like you're in a bad way.

Epic of Gilgamesh: myths and heroes in ancient Mesopotamia

Onko Gilgamesh saanut eteenpÀin eteenpÀin eteenpÀin eteenpÀin eteenpÀin eteenpÀin eteenpÀin eteenpÀin?

You're Dead to Me
Epic of Gilgamesh: myths and heroes in ancient Mesopotamia

And he challenges Gilgamesh to stay awake for seven nights, which is incidentally the sort of length of various elements of the flood story, the sex marathon. You know, seven days and seven nights is quite a big theme. This conquering sleep is sort of like conquering death and Gilgamesh fails. And I think he wakes up to seven loaves of bread that have been baked each day just to prove. Just seven breakfasts that he hasn't eaten. Yeah.

Juontaja Erja HyytiÀinen YhtenÀpyshti kertoo, ettÀ elÀmÀ ei ole yksilöllinen elÀmÀ. Se ei ole elÀmÀ Enkidun elÀmÀ, se ei ole Gilgameshin elÀmÀ, se ei ole edes hÀnen elÀmÀnsÀ elÀmÀ, vaan koko yhteisön elÀmÀ. Ja koska elÀmÀ voi loppua yhdellÀ hetkellÀ, sinun pitÀisi tehdÀ suurin osa sitÀ, mitÀ teet. Juontaja Erja HyytiÀinen

Ne ovat samaan aikaan ja kÀyttÀvÀt kineoformia myös, joten myynti menee ja heillÀ on versioita Gilgamesh-epiikistÀ, jolloin en tiedÀ, kun he soittivat. He olivat kolme vuotta viisi. Ja hÀnen nimi oli Stephen.

Okei, eli vettÀ ja uskontoa, hienosti hienosti. Gilgamesh tietÀÀ, missÀ saadaan sen. Pohjaako hÀn skuba-sivuun? HÀn laittaa heikkoja pisteitÀ kohtaan ja saadaan hienosti hienosti. HÀn saadaan hienosti hienosti hienosti. HÀn saadaan hienosti hienosti hienosti. HÀn saadaan hienosti hienosti hienosti.

Another chapter about me. Okay, Moody, tell us about Gilgamesh's personal growth. Yeah, so he finally returns to Uruk, and we have this scene that reprises the very beginning of the myth, where he's looking, he's surveying the city. And he seems far more aware now of what's at stake. He looks at the different elements that make up the city, civilization, human life.

Ja nÀkee, ettÀ se on tÀrkeÀmpÀÀ kuin itsensÀ oma ego ja yksittÀinen suksessi. Ja hÀn on vahvempi. HÀn saa uudestaan uudestaan Urukkaan ja voidaankin yhdistÀÀ sen, miten hÀn kÀsittelee. Ja tÀmÀ henkilökohtainen kasvavuus on saanut joitain koulutuksia kutsumaan sen uudestaan uudestaan uudestaan uudestaan uudestaan uudestaan uudestaan.

Muistaa Gilgameshaa. Koska Urukin pisteet ovat edelleen. Niin ne ovat. Ne ovat 9 kilometriÀ pitkÀaikaisia ja todella suuria ja todella todella todella todella todella todella todella todella todella todella todella todella todella todella

Epic of Gilgamesh: myths and heroes in ancient Mesopotamia

Yes, so the first Akkadian texts were found in 1849 by Austin Henry Laird in Nineveh in the library of Ashurbanipal. And these were ones that were copied down by scribes. And obviously with the death of scribal training, no one copied them down anymore, so they just get buried. But there are strands of the story that may have survived into other forms of literature. So for example, some have argued that Gilgamesh is in the Arabian Nights under a different name, Buluqiyah.
