Ancient History

Learn about the ancient hero Gilgamesh and his adventures with his best friend Enkidu.

Gilgamesh and his friend Enkidu decided to travel to the cedar forest to get wood and fight a demon named Huwawa.

When Gilgamesh and Enkidu started cutting trees, the angry demon Huwawa appeared and threatened them, but the sun god helped the heroes.

After defeating Huwawa, Gilgamesh became more famous, but when he was rude to the goddess Inanna, she sent a giant bull to attack the city.

After Enkidu died, Gilgamesh became very upset and started searching for a way to become immortal so he would never die.

Gilgamesh couldn't find immortality, but he learned from a wise woman and Ziusudra that he should enjoy life and focus on doing good work.
