Why were the gods so powerless to do anything to Gilgamesh? He beats up Enkidu and makes him his bro, he slaughters their sacred bull, and even scares the goddess Ishtar away by throwing the dismembered pieces of her own bull at her.

Because he was some Mesopotamian's OC donut steel

Because he was a badass motherfucker.
He could lift the things. He could build the things. He knew all the secret things.
The only thing that can stop a man like that is himself.

even in 4000 BC Sumeria people knew gods were metaphorical bullshit constructs with no basis in reality

CAPRICIOUS GODS REPRESENT RIVERS THAT FLOOD IRREGULARLY AND MEN WHO CHALLENGE GODS REPRESENT POLITICAL LEADERS POWER TO CONTROL NATURE AND THUS LEGITIMIZE CONTROL OVER HUMANS

LMFAO

CLAY AND SHIT

LMFAO

Gilgamesch was the mesopotanian Jesus, he was 2 thirds god and one third man, worshipped as a deity that once walked the earth by the people.

He was a tough supernatural motherfucker himself, thats why Ishtar got rekt.

Because it was a bullshit propaganda story meant to make some claybaker king look better than he actually was. Remember this was from an era when kings regularly censored the fact that they lost battles as a form of damage control/small dick syndrome.

Why would you, when you're a god? Why strike him down in the prime of his life, vindicating him as a threat? You'll live forever while he rots in the blink of an eye, and even worse, he'll sink into old age and death in incredible fear and desperation.

Also some of the other gods thought Gilgamesh was hot shit, and you don't want to start a god war by outright helping or harming him

I mean this happens today

Just look at threads claiming that America didnt lose in Vietnam

6000 year old desert people

Wew

Wait the Americans believe they won in Vietnam? How?

They weren't powerless. They went into council to decide what to do with him and the gods weren't certain.

Also it was pretty explicit that his destiny was to be etched into stone.

...

nice quads, dubya

Yeah but surely 100% god is better than 66.6% god.

He had some gods backing him. Specifically that all-knowing one was on his side, which probably counts for a lot.

euphoric

Daily reminder that Sumerians were Ural-Altaic

Because our K/D is off the charts, we never declared that war(it was the French's) and the only reason we stopped is the American people got tired of using little Asian boys for target practice.

>Because our K/D is off the charts
So was Nazi Germany's vs Russia, did they win WWII?

>We never declared war
Irrelevant

>We only stopped because...

So by your own admission, the Vietnamese were able to break the morale of the Americans, forcing them to retreat and therefore fail to achieve their military objectives, meaning they lost.

I hope Marine Le Pen helps you to grow out of you and your nation's liberal phase.

tip

He was the original Mary Sue, but a good one. So he passed has a funny MOFO.

I'm not French tho?

Oh the goal of the War in Vietnam was just to kill as much viets as possible?
So you failed, there are still almost a 100.000.000 Vietnamese

Kartvelian seems more likely desu

Not even in videogames is a good k/d enough to win a game.

he himself was half god and half man, and that half was given by the biggest guy of all the big guys
