gilgamesh:the hero


Gilgamesh would be considered a hero. him and his partner wanting to see the world and give to Mesopotamia. bringing back wood for houses was very thoughtful.also what i think was very thoughtful was that they were brave enough to fight Enkidu.
he stopped his journey one night to pray to his god. that makes me think hes probably thanking his gods for making him that far and for his people.the next morning they went into the forest all the way to the top and they found the tallest trees to cut down.until they heard the evil demon Enkidu. the gods had sent him down from above to give Gilgamesh a challenge. of course they stayed and fought and got scratched. but what happen after that.

Gilgamesh friend unfortunately died. when trying to revive him, Enkidu and Gilgamesh became the best of friends.they did not succeed but they tried. all thanks to Gilgamesh.






Here is a picture of Gilgamesh:

jasmine:the mesopotamiann who had it hard

coming to sumer was a very difficult transaction. it is better than the plains now but with that flooding the plains seem better. now that we have a river that is connected to the two main rivers the tigris and the eufarates river, alot of flooding has happened. the rain here is horrible too. there was bearly any rain and when there was it was to MUCH. it would pour cats and dogs out here. so no matter how much rain we didnt get it poured as a punishment. even though we created an irrigation system to much silt. we would have to dig it out. i hope there is a purpose in moving here.
