The Gilgamesh Cycle: The Fully Restored Epic of Gilgamesh (Updated 2nd Ed.)

The Gilgamesh Cycle, or Epic of Gilgamesh, is a 5,000 year old human drama spanning the distance from a long-ago kingdom called Uruk to a bewildering mythological landscape. Its tragic hero is Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, who upon his search for eternal youth takes on the role of Everyman. Facing a myriad of obstacles, he finds fortitude in the companionship of his dear friend and adoptive brother Enkidu, a once wild man of the countryside. Going together upon their perilous and iconic quest they face fathomless depths, incredible dreams, vile demons, and portending doom. Yet within the legendary framework of this timeless saga lies a hidden preoccupation with the stars of the heavens and the circuit of the sun. Discover a treasure uncovered from a past forgotten and its mysterious link with the figures of the zodiac from ancient Mesopotamia, the land where civilization began.
