“This was the man to whom all things were known;this was the king who knew the countries of the world.
He was wise, he saw mysteries and knew secret things,
he brought us a tale of the days before the flood.
He went on a long journey,
was weary, worn-out with labor,
returning he rested,he engraved on a stone the whole story.”
“The Epic of Gilgamesh” (ca 2.000 B.C.)
