Should the city be Uruk, and Gilgamesh prove a real character
It then puts a greater stamp of authenticity for the Annuaki story as well does it not?
The Sumerians didnt bull# us maybe?
No. Gilgamesh was a legendary character, like King Arthur. The legend may have been based on an actual person, but the stories told about him are fantasies. If an archaeologist turned up a grave that could definitely be identified as that of Arthur, Dux Bellorum, it would not mean that Stonehenge was built by Merlin.

Why would it make Christians nervous? Our Creator left His words for us in the Bible and Our Truth Jesus Christ, has sent His Spirit to testify to that Truth. I will no doubt watch as the world, devoid of truth, accepts the truths of men which are really no truths but lies. The west has had fifty plus years of solid indoctrination to only believe in something if there is physical evidence. Well, now, we reach the culmination of that indoctrination and watch as they pull out said physical evidence and the west gobbles it up as truth. It doesn't matter if it's lies, because the physical evidence must prove that it's true....after all, we must have evidence before we can believe it. ....see the circular reasoning?
If I go to a little kid and tell him that a god who shocks people lives inside an electrical outlet, how can I prove to him that my lie is a truth? Get him to stick his finger in the socket. He will never know the real truth until he learns about electricity. This is the kind of critical thinking that has been removed from us, to our detriment. The "annunaki lies" are just that, so how do the wicked get the gullible to believe it as their truth? Very easily. Offer them "physical proof", just like that little kid that I fooled. This example should caution everybody. If they need you to believe something is true, they will make it appear so with things that are perceived through our senses but it doesn't necessarily mean that it IS true.
Is this really what you think? The detailed account were given in the Epic of Gilgamesh was entirely just fantasy based fiction? That none of the epic was based on real events and was nothing but symbolic of things we could never understand?
How do you compare Gilgamesh to King Arthur..
Its that kind of thinking that keeps us from knowing our true history and origins. This thread is about an archeological find that is probably the tomb of Gilgamesh! Yet here you are, with no supporting evidence of your claim, saying that this can't exist because the epic was entirely fictional.
Following the surface survey from 1982-1984, new data was collected in the years 2001 and 2002 on the urban structure of this large city. The analysis of aerial photographs and a geophysical survey were accompanied by the geomorphological analysis of core samples. These provided information on the division of the city in districts, on the road infrastructure and the functional organization of different areas. A new discovery was the system of channels which ran through the city. The city wall also proved to be much more complex in its construction than previously thought on the basis of excavations. In the year 2005 the European Space Imaging GmbH sponsored the analysis of high-resolution satellite imagery, through which further information on the city's structure could be gained.
One wonders about the giant Humbaba that Gilgamesh battled with, and how this character could be interpreted.
