Weirdest Facts About Gilgamesh From the Lost Tablets | Billy Carson

Nearly 4,700 years ago, someone pressed a story into wet clay so it would outlast every empire that followed. It is the Epic of Gilgamesh - the oldest great story on Earth - and in this two-part reading Billy Carson walks through Tablets 1 to 4 line by line, showing how much of what we were taught about ancient history, the Flood and Noah's Ark is only a fragment of a much older account. Meet Gilgamesh, a giant king the tablets describe as fashioned rather than simply born, and Enkidu, the wild man created to be his companion - twice as tall as a normal man, living on water and grass until seven jugs of beer turned him human. Follow them toward the Cedar Forest and Humbaba, a guardian whose mouth is fire and whose breath is death, which Billy argues reads less like a monster and more like ancient technology. Along the way: the Tablet of Shamash and its strange disc, the Sumerian beer recipe said to be a gift from the gods, five disturbing dreams, and a walk of 50 leagues in a single day. And underneath it all, the source material for the flood story: an Ark Tablet describing a round, disc-shaped vessel, local livestock instead of two of every animal, and Billy's case that Noah was spared by his own father. Hidden history, lost civilizations and suppressed knowledge, read straight from the cuneiform record.
