It's called the death of Bill Games or the death of Gilgamesh.
So Bill Games is an earlier name of Gilgamesh.
OK, now in this tablet, which was found in Dapur in the 1800s, and it was put together by Samuel Noah Kramer.
Now.
Take a look at the right.
And Matt, why don't you go ahead and can you read that for me?
The Mies.
There are things in that tiny passage that are massive.
The first thing, look at how he says that the me's that were brought from Sumer were forgotten forever.
Boom, it's already a different time period in the Gilgamesh.
See?
Done.
And in the ethical Gilgamesh, when he meets him, he says that Sharupak is a far older city.
So that's not in the debate.
Now, the second thing to notice there is that he says you brought back the me's that were forgotten forever.
What are me's?
They are what I found.
Me's are divine decrees of understanding how an entire civilization should function and how the understanding of the universe works.
It's everything.
It's like a blueprint for a world.
