Then
The Untold Story of Shamat that adolescents, young women, the counselors, the priestess at the temple of Uruk [2700 BC], relying Ninsum goddess, mother of Gilgamesh, the prostitute, the wild man Enkidu, the subject was forest of cedars, and brought him back to Gilgamesh, who leads Gilgamesh and Enkidu, hunting andTo kill half the animals and God, the rangers and mountain, known as Humbaba, who gave birth to a son of a wild man Enkidu. And what hands – hands unknown, who wants to die? A question rarely asked, or even seen. It is an accident of nature? This is for everyone to reflect on not yet been discussed before, there is an allusion in the poem, the story of Shamat but left to you, the reader decide where truth and fiction lies.
Startpoetic story is never enough on this subject, and probably will never be said in the same image. In this story, the true hero is not Shamat Gilgamesh, and much, much time, if you ask me, as 6000 years. The story was transmitted orally and then written) in tablets to twelve (Cuneiform, each generation brings its wonderful food, I'm sure. And there are other cases of these three heroes in the past in the cellars of the world have beenShamat, Gilgamesh and Enkidu. But could I believe that this is not a Shamat had not been registered Gilgamesh.
In reality, antiques Gilgamesh was bisexual, which was not unusual that not only speak for the majority in the atmosphere today. Was also directly as a demigod, but the truth, it was just meat. And so the epic poem that I created for Shamat are many new things revealed how she died, wasSpirit Spirit Humbaba the guardian of the forest and the destruction of a demon, a monster? The killing of the bull of heaven, is said by the powers of the goddess Inanna was on death have also brought Enkidu.
Only the foundations have been said in public, but if you are looking for many other things between the lines, came to light.
Gilgamesh did not mention a son in earlier books. Kisch battle with the city-state, which won the meeting of Noah before the flood(Some say that after the flood), for Gilgamesh searched long and hard for immortality, he approached all the time until his last years of life lived (175 -) per year.
Gilgamesh was 2 / 3 's spirit and 1 / 3 of people who do not sleep and was able to stay awake all night sex orgies, boys, girls and wives of soldiers, restless, and is itself a good reason for the boy and his father to his cohorts with the city of Uruk, Gilgamesh equivalent to bringing a newthe woods, just to get busy, and end of life of the great king, died peacefully in her bed, like you and me, a wife, children and the discovery of a head to worship God as it was in the beginning was for him. All this comes to light of poetry.
Comment on Shamat
Notes and Comments Shamat a bit 'different [known as a harem, servants of the goddess, known as the goddess Ishtar or hymns
[There is a love story, a story of researchand as a drama and horror story if you will, but it is mainly the story of a woman who was a legacy that would be produced 5,000 years.] Shamat celebrates life as it comes, something Enkidu ever, especially given the new role Shoulder to the King of Kings – Gilgamesh, the only known at the extremity, or walking, if you read between the lines of the poem of Gilgamesh, and even if you is epic poetry now, you would see a manThey all had, like King Solomon, and I do not know if they are once again in my life with him and a woman who seeks the life [Shamat] and takes it all, life in Shamat legacy of these former heroes could say his shadow . Shamat lived and died happy I think, and for their time, he lived life to the fullest.
About Epic
The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the first truly great work of literature that the Iliad, Odyssey, Araceae, the voyage of the Argo, and King ArthurAge, and perhaps even beauty. Posterity has its own dynamics and intrigue, I feel obliged to know so that the reader in awe of the world before and after the flood, with its kings interesting that there are only some of them. It was originally composed by a poet of Babylon in Akkadian, but the legend dates back to Sumerian Sumerian [PRE-Babylonian], and possible pre-selection.
The stones of this epic poem was written to have been damaged, in pieces, fragments, and there are parts missingThis is where I am myself in some holes with what I think I filled Shamat forward with a number of things hidden on the other two heroes minors. I do not cause damage to the legend, and I had when I saw many translations mentioned, as well as historical data about the region and are subject to historical maps. In today's world than it was small enough for the author of the poem of Gilgamesh or legend. Yet, we must look beyond the citygovernors and the governed and those who ruled before him.
The invention of writing, so they said started around 3000 BC, I feel so far from the truth, but I'm not worried yet to set this debate here and now 's epic speakers are made, as Homer has learned a poem memorized and passed from mouth to mouth, even if you have data on Gilgamesh is in a different form, in bookstores in ancient Syria and the cities of Sumer under the same [in Iraq] and other parts andWorking from his family history, etc., most of Uruk, Gilgamesh, reigned for 126 years. He lived about 175 years, when I had mentioned earlier.
Besides being a King Moody, and powerful as you can expect a demigod, was very sexual, if not down right honey, and, as mentioned, easily, which was not prevented in bed, wives, virgins, boys. Put into force in May in his kingdom, the state required to read all theWomen should announce plans for marriage, and then to obtain the consent to marriage. Yes, have this policy much more the norm, but Gilgamesh.
