the epic of Gilgamesh (English), The Gilgamesh project // la epopeya de gilgamesh (english)

I wish a major production company would put some effort time and money into making a full length film based on Gilgamesh, it could be an awesome movie.

[UpwardsFallings]

This is a proof that the Hebrews stole our story just for their bible.

Long Live IRAQ !

[bloodgorged]

This is greater than anything i have ever seen.I love the narrators voice aswell.

[panavisiong]

wow... I don't know what version this is from but it's wildly inaccurate. Terrible.

strangest line from epic of gilgamesh

"You loved Ishullanu, your father's date gardener,

who continually brought you baskets of dates,

and brightened your table daily.

You raised your eyes to him, and you went to him:

'Oh my Ishullanu, let us taste of your strength,

stretch out your hand to me, and touch our vulva" :P

@WhaatTheBleep assyrians are and is early persians right? correct me if im wrong

[THEKINGS001]

wrong

[WhaatTheBleep]

Assyrian was not a part of Sumer, because Sumer is Assyria you fool. We are our own people and Sumerians were Assyrian as well.

[hominidae7sp]

but

[rayoflightcanada]

great work, well done, love it, who made all this? we all should donate some money

[xARMINIUSx]

i think its nice, but better wsas that after he had sex with her, his animals fleed from him, this corresponds with the adam adn eve story, the great '' sin'' , his animals didnt feel him as one of them anymore

[enkidu4kr]

[iraqituber]

never mind it does explain that later on

[iraqituber]

it doesn't explain why that monster was dropped i will in a few lines , Ishtar loved Gilgamish but when he had no interest in her she spoke to her father who was a GOD and who decided to drop that monster to fight Gilgamish

[BuryMeInTears]

Well, if you had read the story at all you would know. The Bull Of Heaven isn't actually a bull. The bull itself represents drought. Inanna a.k.a. Ishtar is a goddess (of sexual love and war) and she was not actually in love with Gilgamesh. I believe the line in the text says something along the line of "Come to me Gilgamesh and give me your seed."

[iraqituber]

i never mentioned that he was a bull nor i seen any indications i did however look for when i went to the louver last year . I haven't read any books about Gilgamesh i did however order the original one from Iraq which was translated from Sumerian language by one of the few Sumerian language experts. i did however read a few things on the net but a lot of them dont have the same story so its hard to really know what really on.

[BuryMeInTears]

Agreed. I was not trying to be rude. Sorry if it sounded like I was. I just feel very passionately about literature. The monster that you mentioned is The Bull Of Heaven. He was deployed when Gilgamesh denied Inanna his seed (mainly because she's known for being a cruel lover). The bull represents drought. I believe there are three different translations. We could be reading different translations.

[gilgamesh09LP]

marvellous

[realistromeo]

very cool...must be made into a movie.

[piperrak1]

[enkiducdq]

Realmente artistica la adaptación. Es fascinate que se grabara en una cmara de fotos opción video y que los actores sean artistas del proyecto :)

[barrioeletrico]

simplemente maravilloso
