Was the epic transcribed on clay tablets in only 1 language? 

I like the way you compared Giglamesh with Noah. It is important that you addressed that the way the epic is received is contingent upon translation and culture. It is also nice to remind ourselves that we can befriend people that are willing to harm us. Good always prevails over evil. All the advances in science and medicine can be like the flower of eternal life, but in the end, there is no reality to remaining mortal forever, animal fate is to die.
