I originally didn't know what the me's were.
And so when I was writing the book and doing the documentary, I went and flew to Penn Museum to go to the archive to go explore this.
But I didn't really understand what it was.
And nobody really talks about the me's.
Nobody does.
Who discusses that?
Because they're confusing.
Nobody really understood what they were.
They're divine statues and understandings that were given.
Divine statues of what?
Of everything.
Of everything.
Of how the universe works, of how the fractal nature of everything, about what we are, what we're a part of, how a civilization can thrive with everything through moral philosophy, all of it.
So this is what's wild.
Gilgamesh goes to the underworld.
I want people to really remember this.
The underworld duat, not hell.
That's what religion did for it.
It's not an evil place.
This is super important for us to lay this foundation.
