The epic of Gilgamesh, the king who tried to conquer death - Soraya Field Fiorio
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2021
- Dive into the Epic of Gilgamesh, and follow the king of Uruk on a series of dangerous quests as he searches for immortality.
--
In 1849, in the ancient city of Nineveh in Iraq, archaeologists sifted through dusty remains, hoping to find records to prove that Bible stories were true. What they found instead was a 4,000-year-old story inscribed on crumbling clay tablets- a story that was so riveting, the first person to translate it started stripping from excitement. Soraya Field Fiorio tells the epic tale of Gilgamesh.

The bar can be depicted as a place of pleasure and to reflect on one's action, which is also a reward for long journeys. It is indeed poetic

The Epic of Gilgamesh feels human, he strives for greatness like all of us, but still has to face his inevitable end, and finally come in terms with it. It’s actually quite tragic, and yet beautiful.
Yeah, it's the world's oldest written and, even today, it's still a pretty interesting story. Gilgamesh even has character development
ITS human. The valuable message that even 5000 years ago, the kings and person back then had the same fears of us now.

Vallarta Dohaeris
In a way, Gilgamesh conquered death by being immortalised in stories, anime, and youtube videos
It's also the plot of the Iliad in which Achilles is given a choice: live a happy life with wife and kids but be forgotten within few generations. Or fight in the Troyan war and die but live on eternally as a hero of legends.
Ahh brilliant the very thing I was thinking. The mystery and fable of who he was has captured the minds of many so much, there love and imagination for him has driven who he was way beyond just immortality.
Anime? Which anime are you talking about, can you give me the name please?

@@anijkumar645 It is used when the partner sleeps with other person, forcefully or deliberately. Usually, the trope went like this :
1. Partner was forced to sleep with other.
2. Partner didn't like it at first.
3. It last for sometimes, partner starts to like it.
4. Partner finally dump the MC.
In a sense, it's cheating.
Honestly the Epic of Gilgamesh sounds like the worlds first anime.

Bruh it's the lore of Gilgamesh in Fate or Nasuverse
but with magic and stuffs
Good because Gilgamesh sounded like a real dog. There’s nothing new under the sun.
Because it quite literally is the first Epic that we know of. The epic of gilgamesh is the prototype for pretty much every epic we know from Homer's Illiad to Dante's Divine Comedy.

Bartender: "In 4,500 years your story will be retold by a captain who flies a ship in space to a being from another world who speaks only in metaphors, and more people will learn of your story from that than from books. Also, from moving pictures made in a far off land. Oh, and all men must die."

Wait, was that based on Gilgamesh?
Loosely, though Picard literally tells his counterpart about Gilgamesh during the latter half of the episode. It's quite touching.

The fact that even waaay back then that Noah and his Ark was mentioned in another mythical tale, sends shivers down my spine.
Talk about the craziest cross-reference ever.
thank you, was looking way too long for a comment about the ark
That’s such a normal coincidence like how different mythologies have similar stories.
@@bushidobrown6742 specifically having an Ark that contains 2 animal species piloted by a man seems uncommon for me, since this particular story(Gilgamesh) existed before the Bible (I refer to the Bible since when you ask people about the story of Noah's Ark, they point out to the bible as their source of the story).
Id say that this coincidence is more "uncommon to rare" than "normal"
@@bushidobrown6742 yes i agree with that
@Vongola Atzi There's a better explanation. It's a game of telephone between civilisations derived from natural events. There are candidates for post Ice Age flood scenarios.
I hate to come across "internet atheist" here but I think it would be helpful if people like you could stop trying to look for signs of an overarching religious purpose, and actually consider that the evidence squarely states this is simply the oratory stories of ancient peoples. It's quite frustrating for the rest of us to witness, as it seems like you just make up your minds before you do anything.
If you need to "search" for what you "know" is the "truth", then you don't really "know" such things, and if you do want to believe, you don't need archaeology to support your beliefs.
Christians, Jews, and Muslims after hearing of Utanapishti's story: *umm wait a minute hol on--*
First crossover in history
And Jews, and Muslims
And Hindus too
Considering that Uruk is mentioned in the Bible as Erech, it's the same guy.
Epic of Gilgamesh is from 12 century BC
Jews adopted the story, thus christians and later Muslims have it as well(Western spread of the story).
Meanwhile Hinduism being 4000 years long likely also adopted it but this time it was towards the east of the origin.

Yeah, I don't think this is any proof that it means the literal end of the world/earth, since he then went onto the ocean. Sorry flat earthers. Anyways, you have to understand that they probably meant earth in a different sense. When they say "end of the world/earth, they are probably talking about the end of the land until you meet water, not a physical end of the whole world.

Not really sure what you mean by "way before the Christ"??

I know you won't believe me but Gilgamesh is linked to a certain person in the bible named Nimrod, just search him up.
@@justinfrancis4621 yep your comment kinda make sense because Nimrod is very similar to Gilgamesh
@@justinfrancis4621 damn remembwr when Nimrod was an insult in the 90s??? im bringing it back for you 😝😤
Why are you afraid of death? I don't believe in religion, I think when you'll die, you would just stop existing. Not be able to think about and regret how you have died. When it'll happen, you'll be able to think nothing of it, it would be completely peaceful. But life is something you only get once, and there's a lot of great things about it, so you might as well live it to the fullest. And then when you'll die, it would literally be nothing, because you won't be able to regret it.
No one can begin living until they've stopped fearing death
Something i like to think is he is immortal as long as there's someone talking about him throughout many civilization. Like a documentary, movie, anime and many more.

He was nutting every bride before his friendship with Enkidu. So, he was done doing it. 😁
@@laxminarayanbhandari855 wooooow....you are such a humorous guy. With great sense of humor....👍
Me who is a fate lore nerd: (Confused noises)
I scrolled so long tryna find fate comments... Nice to see one
Same 😔🤘
Finally. People of culture
There y’all are, I was looking
Glad to see another Fate fan
It's amazing how many other stories take their inspiration from this
So interesting to see how this epic carries on
The Gilgamesh I know only utters "Mongrels" and drinks wine.
And throws swords and axes while calling himself an archer.
and slays lolis
And destroys my ears
And make a joke about he already died
Caster and Kid Self did wiser,other Loli was suddenly spared alive.
Imagine being the first person to read this wonderful story in thousands of years
I don't think I would start *stripping*
That title definitely belongs to George Smith (unfortunately he died of Malaria some years later)
We read this for school, I think its an amazing story, I loved every bit.
Can I ask which country are you and is it part of your lessons or you read it just in the class free time or something?
@@atenashami7028 Eastern European kids usually have books like this in regular class, like necessary literature. This, Iliad and Odyssey, bits of slavic mythology and some national, country specific epic literature usually is studied in first grade high-school. Then we study from then, to today, going through history eras and picking out important writers and their work. I'm not sure what other school systems teach and in what order but that's how we did it.
Only a society which has reached its pinnacle can write a story like this, in my opinion it's a story of their world how people started as animals slowly reaching a point where they were self conscious to question death and finally making peace with it.
You forgot the part where he fought a guy named Shirou and when he got summoned by a guy named Tokiomi Tohsaka
*wheeze*
finally a fate referrence
Haha that's why I'm watching this video
😂
Also his collection of weapons.
Me being a Fate fan: this sounds familiar
Wait until you hear there's a king Arthur
🤣 lmao
That story was insanely good. I never knew about it until now.
“Gilgamesh searched for immortality”
Same Gilgamesh, same.
Ahhh i just love Gilgamesh everytime he appears outta nowhere and uses Excalipoor to deal 1 damage in ff8.
Even more loveable in FF5! Love that guy.
ENUMA ELISH!!!
Zashu
Avalon..... Excaliburrrrrr........
He conquered death by being an Archer and Caster Class. How many SQs you willing to throw away?
This is an epic story thank you =)
Narrator: Ishtar unleashed the Bull of Heaven.
Me: Eh!? I thought she lost it.
Well it was supposed to be a weapon against Gil yet she lost it, a nuclear tank that is the same level as Tiamat.
Somewhere, there is a boulder with an inscribed "useless Ishtar" in the old city
GUGALANNA!! GUGALANNA!!
@@gudakoalter SHADDAP FUJI NEE
In case you didn’t realize, it took place before Enkidu died, and since Babylonia takes place after his death your comment makes no sense.
"life is Sacred, enjoy it because never dying is a curse"
Gil *"YOU DARE, YOU DARE!"*
Honetsly, this story has better plot than most anime
“Zasshu”
-Gilgamesh King of Heroes
Where’s the part where he opens up portals and fires his swords at mongrels
