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..

   Enheduanna . For not only did she write poetry, but Enheduanna did something no one before her had ever done...She signed her name to her work.
     She's the first person for whom we can say and what she dreamed. She dreamt of stepping through the Gate of Wonder. Here's a thought Enheduanna sent across than 4,000 years to you. It's from her work entitled. Lady of the Largest Heart.
Enheduanna,''Innana, the planet Venus, goddess of love will have a great density throughtout the entire universe.

     And Uruk is also the place where the epic tale of  ''The Hero's Journey'' was first written down. Before Batman, Luke Skywalker, Obysseus... before them all...there was a man named Gilgamesh who left home on a quest to vanquish time.Gilgamesh was searching for immortality. He looked everywhere, gained complete wisdom, uncovered what was hidden. He brought back a tale of times before the Great Flood.He built a wall in Uruk which no future king will ever match.Read the story of that man Gilgamesh, a hero born of Uruk , who went though all kinds of sufferings. Who crossed the ocean, the broad seas as far as the sunrise; who inspected the edges of the world, searching for eternal life. On his travel, Gilgamesh encountered a wise man named Utnapishtim, who told him the story of a flood that destroy the world, and how one of the gods instructed Utnapishtim to built an ark to rescue his family and her animals.The earliest surviving account of the flood legend was written down in Mesopotamia a thousand years before it was retold us the story of Noah in the Old testament.
     So, you could say Gilgamesh fulfilled hid quest for immortality.We still read the Epic of Gilgamesh, and with every reader he lives again. And all those heroes and superheroes who have come sincefollow in the footsteps of the first hero's journey...Another kind of Immortality;
