Gligamesh: Tablets 2 and 3.

In Tablets 2 and 3, Gilgamesh and Endiku showed me a bit of sumerian culture. I thought it was funny that men still behave like they do in present time. The part where they fought and then embraced showed that men can always solve any small argument just by throwing a punch and then "embracing and kissing". Its intresting that they show that there has to be someone equal to Gilgamesh in strength and power but that he wasnt created to challenge him but to protect him. If everyone had a person to protect you in the present, alike to you in those aspects, they wouldnt do much. In the times when Gilgamesh and Endiku lived dangers must have been present more therefore a person was needed to protect an all mighty king like he was a present time clebrity.
