My favorite story of all time. I never get tired of reading it. The character Utnapishtim was where the story if Noah came from. The Gilgamesh story is millenia older than the bible. We learned all of stuff in middle and high school. Back in the old days when kids were educated when they went to school
Can you prove that the Noah story came from the story of Gilgamesh? While there are some similarities, they are quite different stories in character and content. I wouldn't make such assertions so lightly.
@@Lucinda-zr9su do you read the story a millennium older than the Gilgamesh storyline, yet? (The writers maybe are still "working out" the d'tales... I'm looking forward to it's release ... "Liberty and Justice" for each single payer,too, hopefully.
@@steinfranken1108 Noah is equivelant to Utnapishtim in the Mesopotamian version. The essence of the story is the same. But the Jewish writers had a different take on the relationship between the humans and the Gods, so the main difference between these stories focuses on this relationship. In the Mesopotamian version, the Gods were tired of the humans being noisy, so they decide to destroy the humans. In the Noah version, it is because sin and violence of the humans that leads God to want to destroy the humans.
@@steinfranken1108 There are many flood stories. read Frazer's 'The Golden Bough'. Christianity is just one of hundreds of "true" religions. The holy trinity is pagan, most churches were built on pagan temples. Just a new slant on old superstitions. What will the next "true" god be...? Childish.
Simplified further, Gilgamesh was put on the throne by the priesthood but went his own way. The priests found another dude to challenge him and restore their position but Enkidu betrayed them. All other conflicts were symbolic of the efforts the priests made to regain power.
I enjoy the surreal, goofy awkwardness of "A.I." art. These computer rendering programs have a really hard time mimicking motion and anatomy despite the numerous real art and images they reference. It's reassuring to me since it proves humanity still has time left before we must bow to our computer overlords.
Now that would be a good story to tell! no? Perhaps you can write it and give us permission to do our thing with it, and we can do a similar surreal and goofy awkward AI thing with it :)
@@oldentales It's certainly one of a variety of themes I have written about and explored. I meant no disrespect to your channel, however. If I ever finish a story I'd be flattered if anyone made a video about them. 😀
@@RyllenKriel we were also not being sarcastic and are very serious, that if you write something along the themes that you have described, and share it with us and give us permission to make this kind of a video out of it, we would love to do that :)
I have heard of this story, even seen the characters recapitulated in other stories, but this is my first time hearing this story, and it is amazing. Elements of this story as small as how magic is used in a battle are still used today in books, movies, and videogames.
The illustrations are 100% AI, I'm amazed they maintain the character's appearance through the film. But the text-to-speech is horrible. Names have multiple spellings, words are misunderstood, inconsistency in the backgrounds - all to be expected, but ALSO TO BE EDITED! The channel got lazy and BELIEVED the advertising about the AI. It's a good story and almost a good movie, but the MOST important person in the AI production line is the PROOFREADER.
@@oldentalesvery advanced. They are seen wearing Roman armor with Greek elements early in the video even though Greeks and Romans were around 3000 years later.
It is the Mesopotamia story for courage and respect to the gods Anunaki that taught them to appreciate visitors and enjoy women & wine ...after work or war. That is why we still go to war to come tell stories
In an alternate universe, they went on a date and stay in each others arms that night. Three months later, they were married in Ishtar’svtemple. And month after that, they adopted an abandoned girl from the city streets of UR.
Is this the story of the Annunaki brothers? Enlil and Enki? Sure sounds like it. Btw, the animation and story telling in this vid is AMAZING. Haven’t seen any better yet 🤙🏽👊🏽👍🏽
Essentially, yes. Sort of? Textbooks I read in school were wrong. As of today? Almost every religion, civilization and/or religious text? In one way or another always begins with 2 brothers fighting; Mayans spoke of the 2 brothers had to clean the world of evil before the skygods could arrive. Annunaki, so goes, Enlil and Enki were brothers with very different POV's. And Even the flood myth makes sense for most origin stories. My opinion, whomever, whatever was the catalyst of the great flood we read of? That was a complete cleansing. Or it was certainly meant to be. Just a total do-over. And in the Annunaki myth for instance, 1 brother saw humans like we view... Squirrels lol. Yet the other brother in the last moments was able to prove our potential with a simple DNA fix. ??
That's an interesting connection, @toddzillasimon876! The Anunnaki definitely play a role in the Epic of Gilgamesh, and there are a lot of fascinating theories about their influence in Mesopotamian mythology. While this video focuses on the main story of Gilgamesh, we might explore some of those connections in a future project. Thanks for watching!
The names were not spelled consistently. The AI art & AI motion made the birds awkward flyers. And a lion that is half animal and half man was quite inspiring.
Another thing there is a lot left out of the story.The king in the being ran around fighting people an raping women.Istar had the wild man killed Fter he ripped off a piece of a leg of the bull an through it an hit her up side the head with it.
Visually, this is a nice production of arguably the oldest story of civilization. However, the captions need *LOTS* of work! There are so many misspellings and mistaken homonyms in place of the actual transcript words. This happens quite often with AI-generated captions which are never checked by a human reader. Please update and correct the captions!!
You are very right, the translation feature malfunctioned this time around and also the QA clearly failed. We have decided against putting the subtitles for now. In our other videos for now we have stopped hardcoding the subtitles. We may add the SRT files later.
This is not the Epic of Gilgamesh. It is a high-level overview of the plot of that epic, viewed from a thoroughly modern perspective that would have completely mystified the ancient mesopotamians who wrote and preserved the epic for thousands of years.
Facts - Ramayana and Mahabharat both written in 15th century copied from jatak tales. And where did you get 7000 years from. What hindu believe - As per Ramayana, it is from treta yuga (1.29 million years ago😂). And Mahabharat is from dwapar yuga (864,000 years ago). I guess very old.
Yes, that is the plan to make the version which is as close to the original as possible. You can expect that in probably 90 days, but that is going to be for mature audience only.
Actually not bad for a AI based content. I don't mind some of the flowery language as long as its kind of truncated in a way where you can tell the story to more than one audience.
Agreed. We realized it only after we had done this, it can be annoying and distracting. So going forward, we are not going to insert any hardcoded subtitles or read along text. Thanks for the feedback.
@Oldentales Bro Props this was a KILLER video 👏👏👏 I noticed this was your most viewed video I’m telling You Wanna Blow Your Channel TF up?? Do videos JUST like This one But on The Anunnaki, Book of Enki, The Book of Enoch, Ect Ect There’s so Many cool stories you could do On Anunnaki You use your animation skills on them You’re doing 300K+ a video Watch just do the Book of Enki for your fist one If it like this video You’ll hit A HOME Run 💯💯💯
Thank you very much for your suggestions. We looked into the Book of Enki, and if you are talking about the lost book by Mr. Sitchin, then we will try to get a license to do it. We will keep you posted.
This story has things left out an some things are not told truthfully. The woman that went to the wild man was a prostitute not a priestess.After he slept with her the aniamls didn't want anything to do with him, they stopped talking to him. The king's mom made the wild man.I hate when people corrupt stories like this!!
Apologies that you feel that way. We took some artistic license to convey the story for general audience. We are currently working on another version which is for mature audience only, where we are trying to make it as close to original as possible. Hopefully you will see it in 90 days or so on our channel.
We believe that there is a reason for old texts to survive, they say something very special about us as humans and human condition. We may have evolved technologically, but at the core we are still battling with pretty much the same things that we have done through out the written history. As they say things have changed but things are still the same.
Uhm … While I think you have made a pretty fascinating presentation both visually and orally … you have taken an awful lot of “liberties” in fleshing out an already stunning piece of “romanticized history”. I have studied this tale for decades and many period pieces of the same time trying to work out its historical aspect outside of being simply a “story” but I have been stymied as things of this antiquity often lack supporting evidence. The Sumerian form of record keeping, cuneiform on mud/clay tablets, has proven to be unsurpassed in durability but, I think, this tale possibly predates cuneiform tablets and is more a Legend of a more distant past that was finally written down. Of course, this is simply my best guess / opinion.
Thank you very much for your informative comment. Considering that even today in global south most of the stories travel by word of mouth, until they are finally written down, it is not unfair to extrapolate that that would have been the case with the story of Gilgamesh as well. We are trying to work an updated version which is more close to the original text, would be you kind to give us some pointers or point us in the direction or resources where we can get some more historically accurate information?
That is Epic of Atrahasis. Gilgamesh has a passing mention in the final chapter about the immortal who survived the flood. In chronological order that epic predates Gilgamesh. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/2AzczA4hRhI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UQ2VBD1lIeYckVFn
Why did they revise the story? This is not the original story. Gilgamesh was bedding the virgin wives on their wedding day. The people were fed up with Gilgamesh and prayed to the God's for help.
@@richardtbrown756 no they couldn’t beat each other they were a perfect match , Inana put a curse on Enkidu for taking his man and for killing the bull of heaven, that’s the reason for Gilgameshes sadness and search for immortality
@oldentales Gilgamesh lived in a land that you could walk in 10 days. And his best friend was killed by a lion. He sorrowed for the rest of his life and wanted to mean something. He had temples built for traders whom travelled on the trading routes . The Phoenicians left things they liked in the temples. That is why Gilgamesh is displayed as a big man with a lion. Ehm statues of him. I see multiple stories of Gilgamesh, I don't know why they make up things.. if they want to tell a story then why use the name and title of another (his)story ???
Technically the Epic of Atrahasis is the earliest known stand alone version of the flood story, You can check it out on the following link: th-cam.com/video/2AzczA4hRhI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lWmX5aSA_lLr7XnR
That is our dream. We hope to grow big enough that we can employ the resources and use Unreal Engine to have a proper animated movie, with real voice actors :)
I see a connection between this fictional story to the biblical account of Tower of Babel and its main character Nimrod. But people tried to make it into something else, a romantic story to separate it from the Bible which most of the events recorded were proven to be true by archaeological discoveries. So this story of Gilgamesh is written by people outside of the writers of the Bible.
The writtings of the Bible come originally from a priestly line in Sameria, Abraham was called out of Sameria by God, and was also the son of a priest. Moses had access to these old tales as well as knowledge from the Egyptian libraries when he scribed the first books of the Bible. The scriptures also preserved over time the knowledge, observations of, and prophesies of the Hebrew people from the time of their establishment as a nation. It was used as a reference by archaeologists to find many lost and forgotten ancient sites. While there is a possablity that Gilgamesh was Nimrod, I doubt it. Too many differences and there is another story that more closely matches the Nimrod one, but I dont remember the name, will have to find it later, think it was from Zoroastrian texts too.
Why do these AI videos come with highlighted read along text? Even if a person can't hear no one needs the highlighted text. It's an annoying distraction.
It did indeed determine the future of Europe in the distant past, but we think it is the future of Uruk that was at stake for this particular clash of the titans :)
That indeed is a great question! It is pretty much like the same thing that when we watch a movie and the villain can easily kill the hero, but instead goes into a monologue or something else to give the hero a chance to ... well be a hero :)
Butchery!! Sheer Butchery!Danmit! This story has soo much more to it, You do it and us an injustice by 'editing' and spoon feeding it to the public in such watered down and blithely narrated it does not yeild the power or wisdom of the struggle for mortals to deal with a capricious world. The lessons of the search for immortality, and that ultimate power corrupts ultimately are lost in the dust n haze and bullshit of a 'bromance' .This just suc ks and if this is the standard some of you are gonna hold up for "AI", then,go ahead and butcher a timeless classic with no regard.
Thank you for your candid feedback, that was way more direct and honest then what we were expecting. But we understand your concern and we will try to make it more closer to original and also focus on the underlying existential themes in our next effort when we re-do this.
Oldest story ever written is the Ramayana a 26,000 verse poem. 26,000 verses match the 26,000 year Precession of the Equinoxes. Do some real research. Gilgamesh was written millennia after the Ramayana.
It might very well be the case, but Gilgamesh is the one that the archeologist have found in writing. Ramayan could have been written much before Gilgamesh, but the oldest written form that has been found is Gilgamesh as per our research. However if you can give us a link, we would definitely like to learn more about the issue.
Just Google Nilesh Oak and read his book the Real Rama where he dates the Ramayana using Astroarchaeology on Asterisms heavily used in the text plus hydrology on the diversion of rivers in the text like the Indus and the Yamna. There are also countless botanical references in the text related to the Indian Subcontinent then and now.. There are many talks by Nilesh plus many interviews where explains in detail whet he found and what scientific disciplines he applied to both the Ramayana and the Mahabharata wars. Happy to chat about it i read Gilgamesh 50 years ago and countless references to it since then. I also bought the three volume set of Valmiki’s Ramayana 50 years ago. I have always. been very interested in our deep history. I have just spent the past 24 years engaged in a global Petroglyph GPS Survey under Dr Anthony L. Peratt senior plasma physicist at Los Alamos National Labs. With a 200 strong team we recorded hundreds of millions of petroglyphs from every latitude and longitude where people were present to record very large Miyake Solar extinction driving storms of the past 50,000 years. In the Ramayana Book III the 23 chapter titled Rama Sees Omens he perfectly described a Solar Super Storm in great detail only known like that in the past few decades. It is a remarkable proof of authenticity of the text as we now know what Rama describes to his brother Lakshman is a perfect description of what we can expect atnthe peak of the current Laschamp-Heinrich event double act we are now reaching the peak of. This is why the US Dept of Energy funded the Global Petroglyph survey which ran for quarter of a century. The above is how i know for sure the Ramayana is real. Anyhow youtube Nilesh Oak on the Ramayana. There is plenty of material available for you to immerse your self in. Of particular interest is the four part ‘Sugriva’s Atlas’ which perfectly describes the Palaeolithic Ice Age World. Once you read this it will become plainly evident Valmiki’s epic is true and accurate. Cheers john
Looks like Gilgamesh was successful in his bid for immortality, as we're talking about him 5,000 yrs. Later!!!

Weren't there two bulls? ....may be that was later sometime before Vesuvius blew up
Showing artist conceptions of certain scenes with narration is not animation.
This is a bad interpretation of Gilgamesh story and what we can learn from it.
We apologize that you had to spend your time on it, but we thank you for your honest feedback. We will try to improve next time.
Why did they revise the story? This is not the original story. Gilgamesh was bedding the virgin wives on their wedding day. The people were fed up with Gilgamesh and prayed to the God's for help.
Hater 😢
A new chapter has been found. So, the Epic of Gilgamesh gets a new chapter before George RR Martin finishes the Winds of Winter. 😂
He found the ninroot 23:19
What if I told you Enkidu is Humbaba and the reason Ishtar was mad at him is coz Gilgamesh chose him instead of her
Then we shall hear, and write a reply to this comment! Like this one :)
He killed his friend? 🤔
@@richardtbrown756 no they couldn’t beat each other they were a perfect match , Inana put a curse on Enkidu for taking his man and for killing the bull of heaven, that’s the reason for Gilgameshes sadness and search for immortality
EnkidO not EnkidU was killed by a Lion.
Nice story though
No, really? By a lion?
@oldentales Gilgamesh lived in a land that you could walk in 10 days.
And his best friend was killed by a lion. He sorrowed for the rest of his life and wanted to mean something.
He had temples built for traders whom travelled on the trading routes .
The Phoenicians left things they liked in the temples.
That is why Gilgamesh is displayed as a big man with a lion. Ehm statues of him.
I see multiple stories of Gilgamesh, I don't know why they make up things.. if they want to tell a story then why use the name and title of another (his)story ???
This should have an AI tag, if not the AI disclamer. Hate to be baited, I was like: oh cool, 2d animation. Ok, 3d, ohno its Ai slop.
Our Apologies, we will try to put a disclaimer in the description next time!
Irak's name comes from the city of
Uruk period Sumerians 🇮🇶🕊
Don't confuse Sumer with iraq!!!!
@Todd-z8d yep, Envious people always disagree with ancient Iraq's history becoz it is bigger than their imagination.
That is very very interesting fact that you have shared, and we were not aware of it. Thank you very much for adding to our knowledge.
@@oldentales Big thanks, to you and those who have an appreciation for ancient history
OMG there was a flood and an Ark ! This is pre biblical.
Technically the Epic of Atrahasis is the earliest known stand alone version of the flood story, You can check it out on the following link:

Very nice 🙌🏾
Thank you very much :)
Bad AI rendering, I had to stop few minutes in.
Our apologies, we will try harder next time!
I had to quit about a minute and a half... Ridiculous over the top architecture/cities, muscle bound characters...
Too many six fingers!
I appreciate the story, but the AI used still needs work to replace a mildly intelligent human.
We think another 1 year or so, it will get exponentially better, but still not sure if it would be able to replace a mildly intelligent human!
LOL 😂
Shamhat’s teaching were sex and beer. That’s how he ended up working as a security guard for the local farmers.
That is the most interesting historical lens that you have used to interpret this text! Thank you :)
@ I was going to add shirt and tie 👔. Working 9 to 5. Many guys from Western countries can relate to Enkidu being “tamed” by Shamhat.
Should be made into a film,but don't properly not on the cheap 😊
That is our dream. We hope to grow big enough that we can employ the resources and use Unreal Engine to have a proper animated movie, with real voice actors :)
This would be cool if not for the AI usage.
Yes, or we are hoping that AI evolves a bit more so that we can do a proper movie out of it!
This is the best animated version of Gilgamesh on TH-cam. Period.
Thank you very much, we really appreciate your compliment :)
If you like AI garbage.
Uncle Qarl subscribes. I like this kind of contents. I'm a sucker for histories and lores.
Thank you very much, we appreciate it :)

I see a connection between this fictional story to the biblical account of Tower of Babel and its main character Nimrod. But people tried to make it into something else, a romantic story to separate it from the Bible which most of the events recorded were proven to be true by archaeological discoveries. So this story of Gilgamesh is written by people outside of the writers of the Bible.
Gilgamesh was around long before any bible. And the Zoroastrians were tucked in between. It's fan-fics all the way down.
The writtings of the Bible come originally from a priestly line in Sameria, Abraham was called out of Sameria by God, and was also the son of a priest. Moses had access to these old tales as well as knowledge from the Egyptian libraries when he scribed the first books of the Bible. The scriptures also preserved over time the knowledge, observations of, and prophesies of the Hebrew people from the time of their establishment as a nation. It was used as a reference by archaeologists to find many lost and forgotten ancient sites.
While there is a possablity that Gilgamesh was Nimrod, I doubt it. Too many differences and there is another story that more closely matches the Nimrod one, but I dont remember the name, will have to find it later, think it was from Zoroastrian texts too.
Shamhat was a baddy
Pivotal to incessant march of civilization and progress!
Why do these AI videos come with highlighted read along text? Even if a person can't hear no one needs the highlighted text. It's an annoying distraction.
Agreed, going forward, we will not insert the highlighted read along text. Thanks for the constructive feedback!
It's so that when the AI completely misidentifies a word, you know which word it's getting completely wrong.
This is 100%, count people s fingers.
Gilgamesh was Nephilim all the rulers of Samaria were nephilim's
The clash of titans to determine the future of… Europe? Did I hear that right?
It did indeed determine the future of Europe in the distant past, but we think it is the future of Uruk that was at stake for this particular clash of the titans :)
Nimrod
Wouldn't you eat the plant as soon as you found it😂
That indeed is a great question! It is pretty much like the same thing that when we watch a movie and the villain can easily kill the hero, but instead goes into a monologue or something else to give the hero a chance to ... well be a hero :)
How is myth listed as history?
'Nkidu, Enkidu, In Kidu'. What's the point of publishing subtitles if no-one bothers to proof-read them? Is it too 'honorous'?
You are heard. No more subtitles in future!
Yeah ..we get it. Gilgamesh was " "aryan" decendant of German and British parents......3000 years before any European knew this area existed.

What happened to the maggot?
he became a one time loser of a president in a country very far from Uruk
Obivously made by an Indian as i'm sure people im Mesapotamia never looked indian and don't do today.

Creature of Instinct?
couldn't stand the non human generated graphics.
I can assure you sir, that the graphics were generated by Humans using AI tools. No non-human was involved in the process of prompting generations :)
Butchery!! Sheer Butchery!Danmit! This story has soo much more to it, You do it and us an injustice by 'editing' and spoon feeding it to the public in such watered down and blithely narrated it does not yeild the power or wisdom of the struggle for mortals to deal with a capricious world. The lessons of the search for immortality, and that ultimate power corrupts ultimately are lost in the dust n haze and bullshit of a 'bromance' .This just suc ks and if this is the standard some of you are gonna hold up for "AI", then,go ahead and butcher a timeless classic with no regard.
Thank you for your candid feedback, that was way more direct and honest then what we were expecting. But we understand your concern and we will try to make it more closer to original and also focus on the underlying existential themes in our next effort when we re-do this.
I'm a big boy now and don't need captions. If I did there's a button for that.
We will keep that in mind next time :)
1st ever recorded lgbtq story, way earlier than Lot. And, Uruk, the city of brotherly love
Weent the ziggerats only like 3 stories high?
Up to 30 meters, no?
Oldest story ever written is the Ramayana a 26,000 verse poem.
26,000 verses match the 26,000 year Precession of the Equinoxes.
Do some real research. Gilgamesh was written millennia after the Ramayana.
It might very well be the case, but Gilgamesh is the one that the archeologist have found in writing. Ramayan could have been written much before Gilgamesh, but the oldest written form that has been found is Gilgamesh as per our research.
However if you can give us a link, we would definitely like to learn more about the issue.
Just Google Nilesh Oak and read his book the Real Rama where he dates the Ramayana using Astroarchaeology on Asterisms heavily used in the text plus hydrology on the diversion of rivers in the text like the Indus and the Yamna. There are also countless botanical references in the text related to the Indian Subcontinent then and now..
There are many talks by Nilesh plus many interviews where explains in detail whet he found and what scientific disciplines he applied to both the Ramayana and the Mahabharata wars.
Happy to chat about it i read Gilgamesh 50 years ago and countless references to it since then. I also bought the three volume set of Valmiki’s Ramayana 50 years ago.
I have always. been very interested in our deep history. I have just spent the past 24 years engaged in a global Petroglyph GPS Survey under Dr Anthony L. Peratt senior plasma physicist at Los Alamos National Labs. With a 200 strong team we recorded hundreds of millions of petroglyphs from every latitude and longitude where people were present to record very large Miyake Solar extinction driving storms of the past 50,000 years.
In the Ramayana Book III the 23 chapter titled Rama Sees Omens he perfectly described a Solar Super Storm in great detail only known like that in the past few decades. It is a remarkable proof of authenticity of the text as we now know what Rama describes to his brother Lakshman is a perfect description of what we can expect atnthe peak of the current Laschamp-Heinrich event double act we are now reaching the peak of.
This is why the US Dept of Energy funded the Global Petroglyph survey which ran for quarter of a century.
The above is how i know for sure the Ramayana is real.
Anyhow youtube Nilesh Oak on the Ramayana. There is plenty of material
available for you to immerse your self in.
Of particular interest is the four part ‘Sugriva’s Atlas’ which perfectly describes the Palaeolithic Ice Age World.
Once you read this it will become plainly evident Valmiki’s epic is true and accurate.
Cheers john
