Reconstructing Gilgamesh, Book Two returns to the broken tablets, scattered fragments, and long history of scholarship behind the world's oldest surviving epic. For more than three thousand years, the story of Gilgamesh lay buried in clay, shattered across ruined libraries, temple archives, private collections, and museum drawers. What survives today is not one perfect ancient book, but a damaged body of tablets: Babylonian, Assyrian, Sumerian, Akkadian, partial, repeated, contradictory, and incomplete. From these remains, generations of scholars have attempted to restore the king of Uruk, his wild companion Enkidu, the monster Humbaba, the death that breaks a man, and the desperate search for life beyond the grave.
