Enqi laughed and said: Listen, if I catch you, I will treat you like this cow. The goddess was so angry that her face turned pale.

Enqi then opened the beetle's belly and pulled out the beetle's thick and long intestines, which were like ropes. He said to the goddess: If I catch you, I will tie you up with the beetle's intestines. The goddess will be angry.

Trembling all over, he flew back to the sky.

After the goddess returned to heaven, she cried to the gods. The goddess's father, the god Anu, was very angry and determined to avenge his daughter. He used magic to make Enqi seriously ill, became blind and deaf, and suffered from nightmares.

He died not long after. Gilgamesh, who had been guarding him, was heartbroken, with tears flowing down like a waterfall. At the same time, he also had infinite fear of life and death.

After burying his friend, Gilgamesh determined to find Ur Nabisidine, the ancestor of mankind and the only survivor of the great flood, and ask him for the secret of eternal life.

People advised Gilgamesh: If you can't find the ancestor of mankind, it's better not to go. Gilgamesh refused to listen and crossed the desert and escaped the attack of the giant scorpion. When there was no way, he burrowed into a hole in the ground.

, and continued on his way. One day, Gilgamesh came to the seaside, and with the help of a fisherman, he took a boat to the island of happiness, the residence of the ancestors of mankind.

Why do humans need to die? Gilgamesh asked Ur Nabisidine, the ancestor of humans.

The ancestor replied: My child, how can there be a house in the world that is not broken? How can there be brothers who will never be separated? God has decreed that everyone must die.

Gilgamesh continued to ask: Then why are you not dead?

The ancestor replied: Before the great flood broke out, a kind-hearted god reminded me, so I did not die, and later became the ancestor of mankind.

After hearing this, Gilgamesh continued to ask: How can I never die?

The ancestor of mankind also continued to answer: There is a green grass on the bottom of the sea. If you eat it, you can live forever.

Gilgamesh was overjoyed after hearing this. He said goodbye to Ur Nabisidine, the ancestor of mankind, and then jumped into the sea and gathered the youth grass. When he was about to eat it, he suddenly thought of the kind people in Uruk and decided to take it.

Take the youth grass back and make everyone immortal.

On the way back, Gilgamesh placed the grass of youth by the spring and jumped in to take a bath. When he climbed ashore, he found that the grass of youth was missing. He hurriedly looked around and saw an old snake swallowing the grass of youth.

, Gilgamesh ran over in a hurry, but the old snake shed a layer of skin and ran away in high spirits. Gilgamesh had no choice but to return to Uruk dejectedly.

At this point, the mythology is actually over, but from this mythology, we can see that our ancestors had ideals about wealth and even love, and even about exploring the mysteries of life and death and hoping to control their own destiny.

Therefore, this myth may have been imagined by a very knowledgeable slave, who eventually escaped after the old snake shed its skin and was reborn. This also seems to be related to the afterlife of the Egyptian Empire. We have also analyzed before why the ancestors of Egypt believed that

The concept of resurrection in the afterlife does exist. Of course, the mythical story ends with a touch of despair, saying that death is determined by God and not by man.

Finally, let’s take a look at this mythical story. Is this the person who imagined this mythical story at that time, who longed for a hero to save them? Indeed, this desire is very strong, and perhaps it is this kind of desire in a society of endless slavery.

While feeling suffocating despair, I longed for the emergence of a hero, a hero who was truly willing to benefit the common people.

Maybe there really are gods in this world? So all the slaves and civilians are very fond of this mythical story, and it is passed down from generation to generation, and eventually it is carved on the clay tablets in the form of words.

And the hero is actually about to appear!

In fact, when we talk about this, many people will realize that history is about to undergo huge changes, but first let’s talk about the nomadic peoples around the Egyptian Empire. Some of these nomads have died. For example, we have

It is said that a nomadic tribe was chased by the Egyptian Empire soldiers and ran deep into the dense forest. The man named Ge was eventually poisoned to death by the witch doctor in this paradise in the dense forest.

But the nomads are not the only ones in this place, there are others. There are nomads in another place. Although they have been relying on robbery before, they can no longer do it. The Pharaoh's empire itself is relatively weak and there are not many

Resources, and another one is, in fact, the current group of nomads, to put it bluntly, the people in their nation are relatively mixed, because there are people of all kinds. How should we say this?

In fact, this is the case. This nomadic people have been suppressed by the Egyptian Empire, but they are a people with no fixed place, so they often run away. The Egyptian soldiers and generals have nothing to do about it. Then the Egyptian Empire passed

For many years, due to the long-standing slavery society, some slaves and civilians also escaped from the Egyptian Empire and joined the ranks of the nomads. Although they lived by robbery, it was at least better than being a slave.

A million times.

And we have to understand that there were too many slave countries in the past, more than a dozen, so it is really not an exaggeration to say that the people in this nomadic people are actually very mixed.

However, this group of nomads currently cannot grab more resources from the Egyptian Empire, so their patriarch discussed with several of his generals that day, saying that they did not know how to make linen clothes or pottery.

Utensils, and they can't make weapons or anything like that. Anyway, they don't seem to be able to make anything. Apart from raising sheep, they really can't do anything else, so their life is very difficult, so they decided to attack a group of people.

They lived in a relatively backward empire, then lived a settled life and began to create their own empire.

Several of his generals are quite in favor of this proposal, but which empire should we attack now? Could it be that we should attack the Egyptian Empire? This is obviously a fantasy. Although the Egyptian Empire is indeed weak at present, based on the current strength of their nomadic people,

These equipment and soldiers are completely impossible to attack, and there is a danger of being massacred.

So the patriarch thought about it for a long time, and then discussed it again with several of his generals, saying that it would be better to leave this place near Egypt first, because it has been here for too many years. So they also witnessed the relationship between the Egyptian Empire and all the surrounding small countries.

They all know about the bloody battles between the empire and small countries, and they also understand that the battles between the empire and small countries are indeed too cruel, with tens of thousands of people dying at every turn, and there are more

In time, various large-scale bloody civil wars will occur. Anyway, the patriarch is more afraid now, feeling that these empires and empires are all madmen, and there is no humanity at all.

But if we understand it according to our modern thinking, this patriarch does not seem to be a good person, because the Egyptian Empire and some surrounding slave countries, those slaves, etc., originally lived like humans and dogs.

Damn it, they still send troops to carry out robbery, massacre, or rape women, even little girls under ten years old, etc. Are they very humane themselves?

But this is just something we complain about. After all, even if we understand these things again, whether it is the death of civilians caused by the battle between empires, the death of civilians caused by civil war, or the robbery of nomads, which in turn caused the death of civilians

, In fact, if all of this is reasonable according to the laws of nature, then we can also say that all of this is reasonable.

Then we continue to return to our previous topic. Speaking of the leader of the nomadic people, all the generals finally agreed to his proposal to leave the vicinity of the Egyptian Empire. Another thing is that their nomadic people have no

They had no more than a few sheep, and the number of these sheep was really small, so they killed them all. After more than ten days of exposure to the sun, all the mutton was dried into mutton jerky, and then they set off.

In fact, the current population of this nomadic people is about 30,000, and this number is not very large for a huge empire. Therefore, it took about more than two months for this group of nomadic people to finally

On the way, we went deep into the inland area, but these nomadic people actually didn’t know that our human ancestors originally escaped from this place, but that time was very, very long ago. At that time, because of various

Conflicts between tribes were also caused by various natural disasters and even the failure of wheat cultivation.

But there are still people living in this place, and they are still people who seem to have not entered the imperial civilization era. But why is this like this? In fact, this is not difficult to understand, because of the development of the Phoenician navigation industry

, the spread of imperial civilization they promoted only spread along the coast. Another is that there are huge conflicts between or within the empires on the seaside. They are at war all the time, and there is no time to go to the interior.

What about Lu Lai looking for these small tribes?

We can also say now that these small tribes in the interior are really backward to a complete mess. Even the weapons they currently use are still wooden spears tied with stone points, and even the clothes they wear are still animal skins. They have only learned to raise sheep.

Just farmed wheat.

So for the nomadic tribe leader, this is like entering another world. They have never seen such backward human beings. They even think that these human beings may not be human beings? Because in their impression

Human beings are very well-equipped and can kill without blinking an eye. Any war, big or small, is a scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere. Even the tools used by slaves to do things are thousands more powerful than the weapons in the hands of these humans.

A million times?
