A famous king named Gilgamesh was a ruler a king.He was a king a long time ago.Gilgamesh had ruled the city of uruk he was a very powerful ruler if you notice he tried to be like the other king Sargon the great.Uruk was a small city located in Mesopotamia witch is now known as Iraq.Gilgamesh was very bored in Mesopotamia. But he was the ruler he could whatever he wants,so he had a great friend also was pretty famous.They had became friends so Gilgamesh had decided to travel he asked Enkidu so they went to the forest of cedar trees.When walking around the forest they herd humbaba he was bad he was a demon they followed the sound and got were he was.Humbaba had told them to leave or he was going to destroy them with his ugly face looking at them and roaring.But enkidu said no were gonna stay here and fight they pulled out there axes.But then while fighting Humbaba turned into the wind dying and suffering and he had told Enkidu that if he let him go he would give them as much timber he had.Enkidu and Gilgamesh did not believe him so Enkidu cut off his head.From fighting Enkidu had die he was suffering he was still alive but he was almost dying.Gilgamesh was scared of him dying but an old man had told him to get this special flower that was under water he had got it from a long time from swimming he got to the sand and that plant was for Enkidu for he could live,Gilgamesh fell down and went to sleep.A snake had ate it when Gilgamesh saw the snake shimmering and he was to late enkidu had died.Gilgamesh cut down many trees and chopped them into logs.They lushed the wood together and carried it from the forest.After days they had reached the people had celebrated the welcome back.
The message of this story of Gilgamesh is that this story told us that.How Gilgamesh was great for example he wood fight for his people and take good care of them.The king would have problems,for example he would have to take care of his country.And the king would be having a hard time if he made mistake his city will turn down on him.
I think Gilgamesh was a awesome king.Because he would stand up for himself and his city.He would try to save people for example he would try to get the flower so Enkidu would live.He would kill demons and try the best so they could not do nothing to the people of his city.Wat also makes me say he was a GREAT KING because he wouldn't give up he would always try.I think he took care of his city good.
