These Sumerian Gilgamesh stories were integrated into a longer poem, versions of which survive not only in Akkadian (the Semitic language, related to Hebrew, spoken by the Babylonians)"@parridhlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793548943992250238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574529189611704304.post-27162872421411672162010-12-28T00:06:06.271+01:002010-12-28T00:06:06.271+01:00I'm signing up for the expert category because...I'm signing up for the expert category because I think it will be interesting to find a variety of places to qualify for the 7th continent.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08698681278537871554noreply@blogger.com
