Scientists FINALLY Opened The Tomb Of Gilgamesh That Was Sealed For Thousands Of Years
@JoSmotherman
The Gilgamesh/ Utnapishtim and Noah stories are strikingly similar.... with striking differences. In the Sumerian history, Enlil was angry that Enki had given the human slaves the power to reproduce sexually, and to recieve pleasure from sex. He was further angered at the sounds the humans made at night, engaging in sex, which he said was disturbing his sleep. He described it as cattle lowing. Although the Annunaki Gods did not cause the flood, they knew it was coming, and in a Council meeting, agreed not to tell the human slaves . Enki, once again, taking the humans side, warned Utnapishtim, and gave him specifications to build the Ark. And instructed him to build it well inland, and next to the sheer wall of a Mountain . Which Utnapishtim did not understand until the floodwaters came. The Ark was also a semi-submersible. He also provided a Pilot for the Ark, who not only brought the seeds of plants, but also the DNA of the animals. Not actual pairs of animals .. There are many more details that are very interesting. I suggest research and reading of the actual texts interpretations. Peace
I had a good friend who looked a lot, lot, almost identical to the Gilgamesh statue. He was 6'1'', and weighed 300 pounds. He had red hair, and was Scottish in ancestry. Alas.... he too was not immortal. RIP... Big'un McClellan.

People might be interested in a novel based on Gilgamesh-- How Like a God by Brenda Clough. Gilgamesh takes a while to show up, but trust me, he's there.
