What Program Did You Use?

[broatington]

@williewonkajunior Adobe After Effects for editing and Illustrator/Photoshop to create all the art. Music is all creative commons stuff from Jamendo.com

Good work with the graphics. The other student films are pretty brutal but this is actually interesting to listen to. Good job.

[broatington]

@windsandandstars It's good to hear that I'm still at the top! I think it's a combination of the interesting story and my weird pseudo-British narrating.

Actually the people weren't complaining about Enkidu killing the animals. Enkidu was running with the animals and protecting them. He was releasing the animals from the trappers traps. The father of one of the trappers told his son to go ask Gilgamesh for a harlot to seduce Enkidu. Enkidu had sex with the harlot for a whole week and the animals turned away from him afterwards.

@wootang7469 I've said before, the story had been adapted slightly, either for time constraints or to try and give the whole thing a more western or mainstream story arc. But I'm glad to see that there are others out there who are as interested in these old stories as much as I am.

Gilgamesh did not build Uruk. Narmer (Nimrod) did. Narmer dies at the age of 500 in 1770bc while Gilgamesh fears not just death for man, but death for himself which means he is aging like Peleg's whole generation. Nimrod did not have this aging problem. And is why he is called 2/3s god.

[JehovahsElijah]

The Gilgamesh epic was written upon the rebirth of Venus on April 26 of 2040bc and was then rewritten by king Amizaduga for the reborn Venus of 1645bc March 10. Venus in Pisces rises when Mars is opposite the sun doing its turnabout in Scorpio. In 2040bc Noah reaches the age 930, the age Adam died, though it is calendar year 935 on Dec 18. All men Peleg's age 230 are old, as old as Noah who is 930 and they will soon die. This is when Gilgamesh swears to get the answer to death from Noah.

[JehovahsElijah]

And he is confused how a man who can predict the death of the whole world by Flood cannot see nor predict what is causing rapid old age and death for his children descendents. Gilgamesh rules 126 year (2157-2031bc) because he fails to prevent ALL SAINTS YEAR when Noah's calendar year 944 begins ALL SAINTS DAY Nov 1.
