Description

The Epic of Gilgamesh stands as one of the oldest and most profound literary works of human civilization, dating back to ancient Mesopotamia around 2100 BCE. This epic poem follows the journey of Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, as he grapples with themes of friendship, mortality, and the quest for eternal life. In this tour we will look at who Gilgamesh was, the story, and its meaning in Mesopotamian mythology.
