Episode Details

In this episode of GL Deep Dives, Gorgorod dives into the Epic of Gilgamesh, the world’s oldest recorded story—lost for millennia, rediscovered in the ruins of ancient Nineveh, and still speaking to us today. From the friendship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu, to the quest for immortality, to the great flood narrative that echoes through multiple cultures, this epic reveals the earliest questions humanity ever asked about life, death, purpose, and the gods.

We explore how the tablets were found, how scholars reconstructed the story, and why Gilgamesh remains a timeless mirror of the human struggle for meaning.

🎧 Ancient words, eternal questions. No dogma, just deep dives.
