Mary Lane, what do you think Gilgamesh, a grieving Gilgamesh, does after the funeral?
You don't think he's grown from this?
No.
Okay.
Oh, so you think he's going to go John Wick?
Wow.
Interesting.
He turns into a tech billionaire.
He's like, I don't want to die.
I'm going to live forever.
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.
So his new name is Uhtun of Pishti, but he used to be Atrahasis in the older myths.
Exactly.
Okay.
It's all coming back to us.
The flood myths we might know vaguely from Noah and the book of Genesis.
The obvious question, I suppose, is that book just ripping off the Gilgamesh narrative or are they both sort of speaking of similar events or is there a kind of literary connection there?
He's the lone survivor of the flood.
