The King Who Tried to Defeat Time
Gilgamesh was a king. A builder. A tyrant. A friend. And when grief shattered him, Gilgamesh did something no king had dared before—he walked away from power in search of something greater.
Four thousand years ago, in the city of Uruk, a man carved his questions into clay: Why do we die? What survives when memory fades? Can legacy outlast death?
This is the story of Gilgamesh, not just the oldest known epic, but a mirror for everything we still wrestle with today: mortality, grief, failure, and meaning.
Before Homer. Before the Bible. Before empire ,there was him. This is not just history. This is the story that survived time itself.
