At the first flood of daylight /

Gilgamesh sent out a call across the land: /

“Smiths and stonecutters, coppersmiths and goldsmiths, jewelers! /

Make a statue of my friend, Enkidu.”

Mournfully, he shaped the statue of his friend: /

"My friend, your limbs are stone. /

Your eyebrows are lapis lazuli, your chest is gold /

your body is copper /

Draped in elaborate woolen garments /

In place of your simple garb /

Adorned with jewlery made of carnelian and agate /

So your time by my side /

will be forever honored /

Conquering the Cedar Forest and Humbaba

The scorpion man worked his words, saying to Gilgamesh: “Gilgamesh, there never was a mortal brave and determined like you, and no one has ever passed through the mountains. Twenty-four hours trapped inside, the dark is dense and void of light. At sunrise your journey begins, At sunset you will be faced with obstacles, At sunset you will see if you are worthy. Now you shall find out, if you choose to continue. But how will you survive the journey? Will you enter the road of no return?

shining blade
Took him to the ground
Traveled
He crushed the stones ones
The current took them back to
They got off the boat at
No longer you tremble
What strength has come upon

One tree bore fruits or carnelian,

it was laden with grapes and lovely to look at.

Another tree bore leaves of lapis lazuli,

it was blooming and beautiful to see.

Its branches sparkled like gold.

Its leaves shone like silver.

Its bark was smooth like polished stone.

A sweet smell came from its flowers

bright birds sat in its branches.

They sang soft songs in the air,

their feathers glowed in the light.

Cypress trees stood tall nearby,

Cedar trees grew strong beside them.

Fronds of pappardilu stone and smooth white rock,

coral roots reached down sasu stone lined the ground,

its thorns and spines were sharp like crystal.

At the first flood of daylight,

Gilgamesh set out a call across the land:

"Smiths and stonecutters, coppersmiths and goldsmiths, jewelers!

Make a statue of my friend Enkidu!"

Away he shaped the statue of his friend

My friend, your limbs are of solid iron

Your eyebrows are lapis lazuli, your chest is gold

your body is rich and set in jewels

your hair regally wild

although impossible, this beauty shall surpass my own

my friend, and only worthy rival

and still like an eagle he circled around his corpse

like a lioness forced to abandon her cubs

he paced back and forth, before and behind him

The scorpion man worked his words, saying to Gilgamesh: / “Gilgamesh, there never was anyone like you, / and no one has ever passed through the mountains. / Twenty-four hours worth of darkness inside, / the dark is dense and void of light. / “At sunrise you must keep walking for miles / At sunset you must keep walking for miles / At sunset Gilgamesh must keep walking for miles / “Will you accomplish the impossible and find your way out? / But how will you get to your goal? / Will you enter realm between realms?

A crown made of the grandest cedar

he offered in the sun to the great Inanna

“May the great Inanna, traveller of the Underworld, accept my gift.

May she welcome my friend and walk by his side!”

Satisfied with his offerings, Gilgamesh ventured to Uruk.

On Gilgamesh’s return, Enbilulu, God of the River, appears before him.

“I have noticed your offerings to the other Gods. Is a crown of cedar the best you can offer? For such a grand request, is that all that we deserve?

You call upon their names. Think of how Shamash, the judge of the Anunnaki gods would react.”
