      That's literally the main point of the story of Gilgamesh: grief-stricken and having been made conscious of his own mortality after the death of his friend Enkidu, he seeks immortality and ends up knowing that he cannot avoid death and that the only way of "living forever" is by leaving a legacy

      @@ch5rry240 wouldn’t know where Gilgamesh himself is referenced, but the part about the flood and the plant of life along with the snake have some close similarities to the Old Testament with Genesis.
      In fact, when they discovered the tablets and brought it over to the UK to be looked over, they got a man to live translate it in front of a crowd of people including the prime minister. When he got to the part describing the flood and realized it was a flood narrative that predated the Book of Genesis, he freaked out so much that he had an epileptic fit and ran around the room screaming and making random noises.

      Not only does Peter Pringle sing in a different language, he also sings a completely different version. We don't have the full story of Gilgamesh, and what we have are tablets of different versions through which we have been able to recover several Gilgamesh stories and versions of the same legend. Peter Pringle sings the prologue of "In those days, in those far away days" (yes, the different versions are known either by their first verse or by the way they refer to Gilgamesh) which is the version that was used as lesson in the scribe schools of Nippur and Ur, then you have the version of "He who saw into the Deep" which was recovered by Andrew George and which is the purest, oldest form of the story/poem and therefore is the standard story of Gilgamesh, and I believe there's yet another version titled "He who went to the Underworld" or something like that... And then a myriad of "side" stories about Gilgamesh

      Pour la musique, je ne pense pas qu'elle soit inscrite sur les tablettes akkadienne. L'écriture de la musique est d'ailleurs très tardive dans l'Histoire. Certains des instruments de l'orchestre sont aussi très récents.
