Writing can make us Immortal.
Must we die?Are there beings in the cosmos who live forever... afloat on an endless journey down the river of time? Our ancestors marked the passage of time by the Moon and stars.But it was the people who once lived here,around 5000 year ago, who first starting chopping up time into smaller bite-sized portions of hours and minutes. they call this place Uruk. We call it Iraq.It's a part of Mesopotania, the land between the tigris and the Euphrates rivers. The city was invented here. And one of humanity's greatest victories was won in the ceaseless battle against time. It was here that we learned how to write. Death could no longer silence us. And writing gave us the power to reach across the millennia and speak inside the heads of the living. No one has ever spoken across a longer stretch of time's river than this Akkadian princess, daughter of the first emperor in history, and priestess of the Moon.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enheduanna ...
