thank you that may have been intended for kids but I enjoyed it immensely also. I also appreciate you translating the joke for us. I got a good chuckle out of you having to explain ancient Hebrew to us so that we could get the joke. Absolutely hilarious. Thanks for sharing these with us keep up the excellent work.

Loved it! Very easy to understand and still tells the full story... And anyone who gets interested, can read the full story, and research or find well researched explanations of the story, the meaning, the context, etc... On the other hand... Im a musician, and i am doing an experiment with rythm... Its been done before, but i basically came to the same conclusión... That the rythm with wich people speak, and the melodies of their speaking seems to be part of their musical rythm and melodies... Adam neely did a video about it too not long ago... I was wondering, if you guys give sumerian lessons, and can read/speak sumerian... Maybe we can find the most common rythms behind the words? Like... Gilgamesh, zigurat, seem to be an accetuated beat followed by 2 not accentuated ones, enkidu, inana, sound like an accent in the second beat, anu, enki sound like an accentuated beat followed by anotherone not accentuated... Therefore... We know that their rythms could have been made with those unitswich could make up 4/4 beats(anu, enki) 6/8(zigurat gilgamesh) 6/8 butbwith the second half accentuated on the second beat (gilgamesh enkidu) 5/4 (gilgamesh anu) etc... Obviously, we cant be sure they did that, but it would make sense if they did, we may never know

Damn, what is this kid thinking while he's holding up that poster? Maybe another skeptic? Please.
