The Epic of Gilgamesh/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

*** But it was the norm that the kings were all considered to be like that. If my understanding of how these things worked is correct then it is much like with the ancient Pharaohs and it was something like the same fallacies behind the 3/5ths compromise. They were trying to have it both ways and not giving any thought to reason because...well, because [[Viewers Areare Morons|they were people]] and [[Truth in Television|most people just dont think very hard about anything]]. (Or if they did, then they wouldn't dare do so aloud about something like this. It might be physically dangerous for them given the circumstances.) You see, they were living in somewhat of a thearchy: the dude ''must'' be such a badass as to be godly if he's our king, but he's clearly not ''really'' a god because he's going to die and have a successor: experience teaches us that. And he'd been injured or sick before, in all likelihood. So...I've got it! He's sort of a demi-god! [[You Fail Logic Forever|That's it!]]
