The Oldest Story Ever Told - The Epic of Gilgamesh

🌟 Ever Wonder About the FIRST Story Ever Told? 🤔📖 🌟
Let’s take a journey back over 4,000 years to uncover the Epic of Gilgamesh, the first known literary masterpiece ever written! 🪓✨
Carved into clay tablets in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), this epic tells the incredible story of Gilgamesh, a king on a quest for immortality. It’s packed with gods, monsters, friendship, and the ultimate search for meaning-basically, all the things that make stories unforgettable!
What’s wild? This wasn’t a book in the way we think of it today. Instead of pages, the story was etched into clay using a reed stylus. 📜 No pages to flip or bookmarks to lose-just slabs of clay full of timeless adventure.
Why it’s so cool:
⚡️ It’s the oldest recorded story that connects us to the people of ancient civilizations.
⚡️ It’s a game-changer for storytelling, laying the foundation for modern myths, legends, and hero journeys.
⚡️ Even after millennia, it asks the BIG questions: What happens after death? What’s the meaning of life?
So the next time you crack open a book or scroll through your Kindle, think about how far we’ve come-from clay tablets to e-books! 🙌
What would you do if you were on a quest for immortality like Gilgamesh? 🤔 Drop your thoughts below! 👇✨
