the story of gilgamesh?

Question

when and where was the story of gilgamesh first published?

Answer 1

Gilgamesh's supposed historical reign is believed to have been approximately 2500 BC, 400 years prior to the earliest known written stories. The discovery of artifacts associated with Agga and Enmebaragesi of Kish, two other kings named in the stories, has lent credibility to the historical existence of Gilgamesh.[citation needed]

The earliest Sumerian versions of the epic date from as early as the Third dynasty of Ur (2100 BC-2000 BC). The earliest Akkadian versions are dated to ca. 2000-1500 BC. The "standard" Akkadian version, composed by Sin-liqe-unninni was composed sometime between 1300 BC and 1000 BC. The standard and earlier Akkadian versions are differentiated based on the opening words, or incipit. The older version begins with the words "Surpassing all other kings", while the standard version's incipit is "He who saw the deep" (ša nagbu amāru). The Akkadian word nagbu, "deep", is probably to be interpreted here as referring to "unknown mysteries".

Answer 2

It's hard to say when, but since Gilgamesh was very likely a Babylonian ruler in the third millenium BC, the original stories were handed down from that point orally. It is believed that the stories were consolidated and written between 1300-1000 BC, but I'm pretty sure the earliest discovered clay tablets of the epic are from the 7th century BC. As for where, Babylonia is the answer.

Answer 3

in case you ever study the Epic of Gilgamesh you will comprehend that it grow to be written in historic Akkadian which pre-dates even the Babylonians. The e book of Moses (Genesis) grow to be written 1000's of years later and spanned generations. additionally, while Gilgamesh is in his boat he stops at different cities alongside the course the place human beings have been nevertheless residing. by utilising some calculations, it took Noah a hundred and twenty years to construct the ark. If he had "accrued" 2 from each and each species there could have been generations of animal delivery and deaths for the duration of that factor. in my opinion, i've got not got self belief interior the fairly long existence thoughts from the Bible. A calendar twelve months is measured many methods in countless cultures. there's a possibility that none of them knew a twelve months grow to be 300 and sixty 5 days by utilising our measurements. July and August weren't even interior the Roman calendar until eventually the Caesars...July for Julius and August for Augustus. IMO, the epic grow to be no longer a prophesy. mutually as there may be countless "medical data" that a flood surpassed off I surely have a tendency to disagree it grow to be "international-extensive" (all of sudden) based on the certainty that there isn't any longer sufficient water to encapsulate the completed Earth. i think of information of sea shells in alpine areas have greater to do with lava flows originating on the tectonic plates which finally "enhance" mutually as colliding (maximum mountain ranges have been formed in this variety).
