Okay.

So all the tablets discussed that Eridu to Chirupac was the first five cities ended with Chirupac was last.

Uruk was at a complete reemergence thousands of years later.

Right.

So that's what we're essentially tackling right now.

Got it.

Now, in this story, and that's why some of these slides are so important because it's really complex stuff, I had been tracing this very mysterious phrase in tablets, and it's only in two cuneiform tablets.

It's in a tablet called the Death of Gilgamesh or Death of Bilogames, and it's in another tablet called the Enkian World Order tablet.

They're both on here, so bear with me here for a moment.

Now, this is super important that we go over this because you'll see that what this is, is what this lost civilization encoded, if that makes sense.

So, check out this here.

They discovered the death of Gilgamesh in the 1800s.

He's from the pure Iraq, right?

It was pieced together by a seriologist, Samuel Noah Kramer, great guy, did the best he could at the time, right?

He's a great seriologist.

Now, I'm going to read this and then I want to break it down really quick.

Lord Biligames, having erected Stele for future days, having founded temples of the gods, you reached Sayasudra in his abode.

You brought to the land the Miis of Sumer that were forgotten forever, the commandments and rites.
