Entry 2 (Tablets 1-3)

Contained in the Tablets

The Tablets of Gilgamesh are made both of—what some people could believe as—
Fiction and Non-Fiction.

This tale of Gilgamesh, it could have happened.

Leaders had different tactics to rule, hoping that for what they believed were the best tactics, a fortified and Empire would arise—and never fall.

In Gilgamesh’s case, for a kingdom to be powerful, its rulers shall be strict, having dominance towards the people. He didn’t care whether his people weren’t living pleasantly, as the ruler—example of the Empire was what he cared about most.

Protection through Architecture, though, was a technique used often by the great rulers of the past. As the fortified inner and outer walls of Uruk, stood the Great Wall of China.

It happened various times in the past, where one would arise and try to overthrow the current ruler. Enkidu, the man of wild and nature was created, and later he would try to overthrow Gilgamesh from the lead.

Yet this is where Fiction comes through. As it wouldn’t have happened in the past, the two great rivalries—Gilgamesh and Enkidu—fighting at first for power, ended in a friendly relationship.

Never in the past did enemies fighting for power forgave themselves, and suddenly became friendly, cause of one finally being defeated by the other. It was probably until death they fought.

Scientifically, we are still not sure whether the great Kingdoms of the past did communicate with the Gods. Until now, it could be believed as Fiction, as it sounds peculiar for people to have the ability to communicate directly with the Gods.
