"Gilgamesh (Akkadian: ๐ญ๐๐๐ต๐จ๐๐๐, romanized:ย Gilgameลก; originally Sumerian: ๐ญ๐๐ต๐ฉ, romanized:ย Bilgames or Pabilga-mes)[a] was a hero in ancient Mesopotamian mythology and the protagonist of the Epic of Gilgamesh, an epic poem written in Akkadian during the late 2nd millennium BC. He was possibly a historical king of the Sumerian city-state of Uruk, who was posthumously deified. His rule probably would have taken place sometime in the beginning of the Early Dynastic Period (Mesopotamia) (henceforth ED), c. 2900 โ 2350 BC, though he became a major figure in Sumerian legend during the Third Dynasty of Ur (c.โ2112ย โ c.โ2004 BC)." - (en.wikipedia.org 03.01.2022)
