Yeahbuddy33535- I really enjoyed all the helpful facts on this website it really helped with my book report. I wish their were other websites out their just like this one. This was the man to whom all things were known; this was the king who knew the countries of the world. He was wise, he saw mysteries and knew secret things, he brought us a tale of the days before the flood. He went on a long journey, was weary, worn-out with labour, returning he rested, he engraved on a stone the whole story, and i am greatfull for it.

Your-the-best13- I completley agree with you ^^^^ i like the way this website is layed out and its very easy to use and browse. Its an interesting look at how humanity has changed and also how much it hasn't changed in the last 4000 years. The story itself is a little... simple, I guess, but I find it entertaining and funny in parts. Mostly I love it because its the oldest known piece of human literature and it paved the way for all of the writing that came after it.

Yeahbuddy33535- Thanks for the support we really should pread the word about what a great site this is and we can even talk about our thoughts on the book itself. The story of Gilgamesh is the Hero's Journey for all time. It is haunting in its sheer age a ghostly voice speaking to us from Iraq, five thousand years ago. Yet it remains startlingly relevant to 21st century Americans, as its hero struggles to find a first world sense of purpose. King Gilgamesh wants for nothing, and then loses the only person he ever loved. He covets eternity. He accomplishes the greatest things a human can.

gilgamesh's#1Fan- The Epic pulses with primitive rhythm and the mesmeric quality of repeating structures constructed under the oral tradition. Some lines of this translation feel as if they could be chanted and accompanied by drums. It was scary, as well as fascinating, here is a voice from a time when life everywhere was harsher, when values were different - 1500-2000 years before Buddha or Jesus . The book was unexpectedly easy to read in terms of actual structure, though the deep strangeness of the work demanded attention. I felt driven to write this review.
