Gilgamesh

Archeologists in Iraq think they may have found Gilgamesh’s tomb. This is interesting, cool stuff. From the article:

“We have found garden structures and field structures as described in the epic, and we found Babylonian houses.”

But he said the most astonishing find was an incredibly sophisticated system of canals.

“Very clearly, we can see in the canals some structures showing that flooding destroyed some houses, which means it was a highly developed system.”
