[Ares12893]

gilgamech seems like he would be yelling "THIS IS MESOPOTAMIA" at some little kids.

[Ares12893]

They might be giants is the only band that i would recommend to those of you who are failing any subject because all, well most of them, their songs teach you something.

[MeasureMyLullaby]

We had to do this horrible project on the Epic of Gilgamesh. I may have gotten the worst grade in my life. :(

[MasterAsra]

@MeasureMyLullaby Did you base the entire project on Gilgamesh's dancing skills and ability to fall to pieces?

[nightflyer9kpoplove]

So Hammurabi is an Emo kid? Yes!

[hacker1698]

and the GOUT (sorry bad english)

[ADDrific]

... WHY ARE THEY SO EDUCATIONAL?! MUSIC IS SPOSED TO BE BRAINLESS IDIOTIC RAMBLINGS!!!!

[ixyel952]

@ADDrific no you ignorant fool, music is made to stimulate your brain, change your mood, make you feel good about yourself, it is not made to be insulted it is made to be appreciated. 

[megakillowning]

yeah and maybe the macedonians too...

[cosplayninja13]

My S.s teacher showed me this I <3 it

[MilesBrunk]

my history teacher showed my class this.

[odinata]

I want a Ashurbanipal bobble head.

[tkeaston4]

Hi

[pop1pop10]

@SLemonspunk and Ashurbanipal went def after standing near a speaker without realizing it,so he went to work with music in a different way.he joined "stomp",a band that uses all kindsvof things to make music.

[SLemonspunk]

Sadly before the band could release what would have been their Hit Album, Gilgamesh angered the Gods which somehow resulted in the creation of a solo project known as Gilgamesh & Enkidu who released their Debut album "The Floodbox" the following year. This angered the rest of the band and forced them to break up, several of them made it further in the Music industry. Sargon crossed over to the film industry and wrote the script for next years summer blockbuster "Utnapishtim."

[vivalaleta]

[rainbowllama52]

whoaaaaaaa dudeeee my teacher showed us this in 6th grade!!!!!!!!!!! hi mr Starrs!!!

[TheCrazycrazykids]

@rainbowllama52 Same with my teacher!

[lululover333]

@TheCrazycrazykids lol me too

[WhiteHawkPROD]

why do you guys like this...?

[jacobthelioneater]

@WhiteHawkPROD 1. Its catchy. 2. Its a cool animation. 3. Its intelligent - it references something that most people don't know. 4. Its funny - the idea of a band from mesopotamia is funny because they didn't have bands back then - much in the way that there is a meme based on antiquated language. 5. The song uses some good irony - it makes references of things today using descriptions of mesopotamia, like the Paul is Dead, expect that they would ACTUALLY be dead.

[WhiteHawkPROD]

@jacobthelioneater too mainstream bro

[WhiteHawkPROD]

this pisses me off.

for some reason

[Musicaljunki]

@WhiteHawkPROD maybe because u look too much like hamurabi?

[WhiteHawkPROD]

@Musicaljunki I THINK SOMEONE IS MAD.

[dungeono]

@WhiteHawkPROD maybe cuz you learn about these ppl in your world history class?

[WhiteHawkPROD]

@dungeono maybe because this video pisses me off.

[909mandealorenroblox]

ikr  `~`

OSHAYOMOMA LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOLOLOl

[MangoThePanda]

*wakes up and listens to this song*

I am now happy

[Doggieluv25]

Awesome! Did it in S.S Class

[gastuf]

uhm i looked up Mesopotamia in a dictionary and found out its something between two rivers in the east

[jacobthelioneater]

@gastuf Its a geographical region in the Middle East no longer relevant today, between the Tigris and Euphrates. It has housed some great civilizations, including Assyria, Babylon, and Sumer. Today, 'mesopotamia' is divided between Iran, Syria, Iraq, and Turkey.

[gastuf]

@jacobthelioneater yup.

[xXWhiteCraneXx]

@gastuf Mesopatamia was the "Land between the Rivers", and I believe they were some of the first human civilizations. They had Hammurabi and his code, these were the first laws.

They had Sargon, who had conquered large parts of Mesopatamia for nearly 60 years.

They had Ashurbanipal, the last great king of the Neo- Assyrian Empire and formed the Middle East's first library system.

And finally, they had Gilgamesh. He wasn't real. He was a character in an epic, a long poem that tells a story.

[gastuf]

@xXWhiteCraneXx there is no reliable proof that Gilgamesh did and did not exist, it is suspected that he might have built the walls of Uruk.

[toopoable]

"Breakthrough" album?
