The Greatest Fight Ever Told | The Epic of Gilgamesh | A Complete Explanation of Tablet II

Find Your Epic of Gilgamesh Merchandise Here: legends-of-history-store.crea...
Gilgamesh is believed to be the oldest poem in the world - its very origins pre-dating the Iliad or even the Bible. The baked clay tablets in which the poem survives on, once lay buried in the rubble in sites across the ancient Near East, broken and forgotten. It wasn't until 1850 when these tablets were discovered and it would be another fifteen years before they even got the attention they deserved. In this series, I'll be retelling the Gilgamesh story in its entirety and whilst this endeavour will be entirely original, I will be drawing on inspiration from the translations by Andrew George and Stephen Mitchell to help illustrate what might be one of the most profound things I've ever had the pleasure of reading.

I am on team Enikdu.

"It's a robe!" "If you say so."

[@notyou6942]

everyone in my english class thinks these stories are boring, but i love ancient literature

[@Facetiously.Esoteric]

You will find a good portion of the world's population is uneducated and happy to be so. People tend to wallow in their ignorance...

[@angusmafi1597]

It’s much more interesting than the world we live in now that’s for sure.

[@michaelknoll2295]

They get more interesting as you get older. You come at it with more perspective of how these stories shaped the world we live in . So the fact you find them interesting already means you have plenty to look forward to later in life since this kind of stuff just gets better and better 😃

[@karelianorthodoxy]

This far from a direct translation, more of a creative adaptation, if u read the word for words translation you would understand their view

[@lovely1762]

Same here. I love it cause it teaches you alot of morality and lessons despite how obscure there stories can be.

[@TheRadioDemon66]

I've been addicted to this channel for almost a year

[@jaykisuke3397]

The way that #legendsofhistory narrated this episode felt like a 5star movie.

[@Facetiously.Esoteric]

Gilgamesh and Enkidu is the first Sasquatch erotica in history...

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

Frankly, this could be a great movie if given to those who will do a faithfull adaptation

[@geoalpha]

[@LowEffortDoodles]

No doubt OP was inspired by the latest season of Baki Hanma when narrating his version of Gilgamesh

[@megbuchanan1630]

Gilgamesh was a real person.

[@dominicadrean2160]

I honestly believe the Epic of Gilgamesh is just the story of nimrod that became mythology and his life was woven into the religion of Babylon

[@suckOnThese3]

It is just like the Greek God's story is also told in many Biblical stories, just called them by different names.

[@brooklynbandit6788]

Enki do👍🏾

[@shantanusapru]

Ever heard of/read the Mahabharata??!!

[@AngelRiverar-yz7kz]

👍🏼🏅

[@Jhaldmer]

Shamhat might be the goddess Ninsag. If so it would make sense that she would humanize Enkidu and she is angry that Enkidu did not listen to her advice so she reveals everything and insults Enkidu . Another possability might be that Ninsag disguised herself as Shamhat when she teaches Enkidu about living like a human and advices him not to fight Gilgamesh but leaves real Shamhat to Enkidu later. More possably it is Nirsag that sent Shemhat to tame and advice Enkidu so he will not fight Gilgamesh but she failed so she will be punished or something.

[@zoerichardson5738]

Thanking you God 🙏 YAHWEH for the guys who made these Epic videos for they are easily understandable and enjoyable❤ sometimes I think God might be bored, we make so much litter and do nothing. Guys you are making these stories great again and the Guy who narrated these is perfect wow done (finally)😊

[@waltersstreet]

Fascinating

[@TheHornedKing]

At long last!

[@jacemachine]

Enkidu was a Sasquatch.

[@Neo.Jordon]

Finally!

[@dominicadrean2160]

To think the Epic of Gilgamesh was around the time of Abraham though Abraham never met nimrod he definitely heard it during his time before he was called by God

[@swapsplat]

That's crazy thinking we're hearing a story that Abraham might've heard. So odd hearing tales that existed so long ago.

[@wendylee1213]

Read "Book of Jasher". 🙏💜✝️🕊️🌼🫒

[@liberaltears1714]

Gilgamesh is the oldest written story in human history

[@apolashimself]

No one: ...... Enkidu: "Nah I'd win"

[@FatherJohann]

[@georgehatzimanolakis1904]

just curious if this is your dialect. You pronounce the th in through but you don't pronounce it in breath. Is that right? some you do some you don't?

[@Glucosetito]

We have greek gods and norse gods in movies but never the most epic pantheon of Mesopotamia
