I also really enjoyed reading your blog about "The Epic of Gilgamesh", I think it is interesting to learn and think about the concept that people in today's society and Mesopotamian citizens, people of one of the first civilizations, can relate so profoundly. We pride ourselves in how much we have evolved/advanced since the second and third millennia  because of our break through technologies and science. Yet this epic tale proves that no matter what era you live in, we are all human. We all want to make our mark before death and that immortality is always  an interest. I think the way you summed up the importance of the story and why it should be remembered is beautiful. "Although he is dead, he is still remembered as a great king who’s lasting achievements are valued and are significant in contribution to humanity for generations, which the epic implies is closest thing to immortality that human beings can achieve." 
What story from our era or generation, if any, do you think would have the same impact on future generations and should be put into a time capsule and why?
