Tomb of Giant Gilgamesh Discovered with Ancient Technology Inside
In early 2003, a team of German archaeologists working in Iraq stumbled across one of the most significant discoveries of modern times.
-
Deep beneath the desert sands, they discovered what they believed to be the long-lost tomb of the mythical King Gilgamesh, the protagonist of the oldest story human beings ever wrote – the Epic of Gilgamesh.
-
For centuries, historians had been divided over whether Gilgamesh actually existed or whether he was simply a figment of myth. That was until Jorg Fassbinder and his team of archaeologists, using modern technology to look deep into the ground, discovered an entire ancient city beneath the desert, astonishingly laid out just as the city of Uruk, over which Gilgamesh had purportedly reigned, was described in the Epic.
-
There were houses and gardens and fields, alongside “an incredibly sophisticated system of canals,” leading archaeologists to describe the site as “Venice in the desert.” More importantly, on the outskirts of the ancient city was what appeared to be a burial site, which archaeologists believed to be the tomb of the ancient king. As Fassbinder put it, "I don't want to say definitely it was the grave of King Gilgamesh, but it looks very similar to that described in the epic.”
-
It was, quite simply, a mind-blowing find, a long-lost missing piece of the origins of human history.
-
Surely, archaeologists believed, this would change everything, revealing to us secrets we never even knew we lost. But then, the unthinkable happened. Mere weeks after the tomb of Gilgamesh was discovered, the United States invaded Iraq, forcing Fassbinder and his team to abandon their work and flee the country, the mystery left unsolved.
