Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Decoding Gilgamesh is a fascinating and often mind-blowing understanding of The Epic of Gilgamesh and related texts. It gives us an insight into the origins and pre-history of humankind, their culture, religion and belief systems, how they deforested the cedar mountain and killed the spirit of the forest, resulting in climate change, drought and famine. How Gilgamesh overcame Inanna/Ishtar, the fertility goddess - the cause of overpopulation and mono agriculture resulting in famine - the beginning of the patriarchy and the rise of the religion of Moses. The death of the Enkidu and Gilgamesh Time is spiral, not linear. Everything that is happening now has happened before - we have deforested our planet, just as the cedar mountain was clear-felled and the spirit of the forest Humbaba killed, causing climate change, drought, fire, famine and disease. Gilgamesh attempted to follow the mountain journey of his father, the great hero and Holy Lugulbanda, in his quest for cedar wood to build his city. We learn of our interaction and love for the Enkidu and of their tragic and lingering death. A devastated Gilgamesh followed his ancestor, the flood hero Utnapishtim, on an epic sea journey, in search of eternal life so that we, too, need not die. Gilgamesh represents humankind at its worst and at its best. He was a tyrant and a despot, a builder of the great city of Uruk. But on the tragic and long drawn out death of his beloved Enkidu, the extinction of a race of beings (Neanderthal), Gilgamesh followed his ancestor Utnapishtim the flood hero on an epic sea journey in search of the secret of eternal life.
