      "Gilgamesh’s Heroism"
      Gilgamesh’s unwavering support for Inanna, despite facing formidable creatures, reflects themes of loyalty and courage. What modern relationships or dynamics echo this kind of partnership?

    Then Ishtar attacked Gilgamesh with An Gal Ta Ki Gal Šè and asked Him Are you the Strongest because you are Gilgamesh or Are you Gilgamesh because you are the strongest. To which Gilgamesh answered with one word. Mongrel

    If you’re curious, look into the topic Esotericsm, it is the studying of the history of occult, mythology, and religion (of all cultures) and they really get into how all of modern & ancient religion is related throughout history even with vastly different cultures and beliefs.
    There’s so much more in-depth esoteric lore here that is so fascinating! Great video! ❤

      It's the opposite. Divine tree, serpent in Genesis are taken from Gilgamesh. Don't forget that the Epic of Gilgamesh originated over a millenia b4 Genesis.

    I've never heard this myth before and it seems like the only information I can find is that Inanna and Gilgamesh were at odds because Gilgamesh rejected her or because she tried to bar entry to her temple. Either this is a newer myth or the writer dug deep for it. It's a fun one but portrays the relationship between the two characters COMPLETELY differently than typical

    For those that see, this is an allegory for the human spine which is the Tree of Life. And the devine fluid that must flow from the pineal gland down and then back up the spine. But pleasures of the flesh must be forgone to achieve this.

    The descendants of Aram, the same Arameics invaded where the Chaldeans or descendants of Japheth settled before them, the same Georgians were and appropriated their culture.

    Ok, so much of this is just mixing mythology. Inanna wanted to marry Gilgamesh and he was not her brother because he was a mortal man, close to being a god but mortal none the less. It's not I'm not a fun of mixing myths, it makes for cool story telling, but the description needs to mention that.

    So Lilith is also a part of this mythology?

    • @JustSpectre
      @JustSpectre 6 днів тому +3

      She was not. The name of the creature was kisikil lilake which translates to spirit of a young woman. The term Lilith was used by S. N. Kramer in his translation and it kind of stuck. Nevertheless there was a creature called Ardat-lilî which has much closer to actual hebrew Lilith

      Inanna (Ishtar) actually correlates or is the same as Aphrodite, not Athena.

    I once heard in high school that the Epic Of Gilgamesh was supposed to be Greek mythology's equivalent to an explanation of the Great Flood from the Book of Genesis.

      It’s not Greek mythology
      It’s Mesopotamian mythology.
      Cultures like Akkadian & Sumerian
      It’s the way older version of the story that was adopted & adapted by Jewish mythology

    • @carlosaugustodinizgarcia3526
      @carlosaugustodinizgarcia3526 6 днів тому +1

      Greek mythology also had a deluge myth: the Deucalion one.
      Prometheus had the same role as Enki/Ea (sumerian god of wisdom) as savior of humankid.

    • @JustSpectre
      @JustSpectre 6 днів тому +2

      Ancient Sumerians used familial terms such as sister, brother, father or mother as a mean of paying honor to the other person. Good example is from later period where all the kings of Late Bronze Age are calling each other brother.
