“Look for the copper tablet-box, Undo its bronze lock, Open the door to its secret, Lift out the lapis lazuli tablet and read it, The story of that man, Gilgamesh, who went through all kinds of sufferings.” ReadingSecretGilgamesh Book:Myths from Mesopotamia: Creation, the Flood, Gilgamesh, and Others Source: Myths from Mesopotamia: Creation, the Flood, Gilgamesh, and Others
“The daughter of Sin was determined to go To the dark house, dwelling of Erkalla's god, To the house which those who enter cannot leave, On the road where travelling is one-way only, To the house where those who enter are deprived of light, Where dust is their food, clay their bread. They see no light, they dwell in darkness, They are clothed like birds, with feathers.” DeathMythologyMesopotamiaThe AfterlifeIshtar Book:Myths from Mesopotamia: Creation, the Flood, Gilgamesh, and Others Source: Myths from Mesopotamia: Creation, the Flood, Gilgamesh, and Others
