The Epic of Gilgamesh/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

** Canonically (if my knowledge of Mesopotamian mythology is up to par), Gilgamesh was not born in the normal sense, but rather created by the gods. Three gods created different aspects of him (body, intellect, and something else I think). Two of them were divine in nature, but one (most likely his body or his lifespan) remained human.

** As Gilgamesh was essentially the Babylonian equivalent of Chuck Norris, the answer is that he's such a [[Badass]] that he actually re-fertilized his own embryo.

** Don't forget that the story is basically a [[Shonen]] anime in written form. I'm surprised they haven't ''made'' an anime from it!

*** Don't forget [[Gilgamesh]], which picks up the story in modern times.

** Maybe his mother slept with two gods that day, and he got genes (or whatever the closest equivalent the Babylonians believed in back then) from all three.

** Utanapishtim was closer, probably.

 

** Oh [http://rpgmaker.net/games/3453/ You maen like this one?]

** Video game would be difficult. But a movie would be awesome.

** Yeah, an actual fairly straight Shonen anime adaptation (not an update like [[Gilgamesh]]) would be pretty great.
