Fall Asleep to the ENTIRE History of the Epic of Gilgamesh

Beneath the sun-baked plains of Mesopotamia, where two great rivers carved the cradle of civilization, a story was written — the first in all of human history. In this calm, feature-length documentary, we explore the ENTIRE history of the Epic of Gilgamesh — from the rise of Sumer and the city of Uruk, to the creation of the world’s earliest literature, its loss beneath the sands, and its rediscovery thousands of years later. Long before Homer, before the Bible, a Sumerian king’s search for meaning became the foundation of myth itself. Through clay tablets, royal archives, and modern archaeology, this is the complete story of how humanity’s first epic was born, forgotten, and found again — a journey from stone to story, and from mortality to memory. 🎥 Continue your journey through the ancient world: 📜 Watch the full Ancient Civilizations Playlist:    • History To Sleep To   🌍 Next episode: The Entire History of the Thracians:    • Fall Asleep to the ENTIRE History of The T...   🏛️ Also watch: The Entire History of Ancient Greece:    • Fall Asleep to the ENTIRE History of Ancie...
