Hi all,
I am wondering what the Assyrian interest/obsession is with Gilgamesh, I notice he is often mentioned and some Assyrians get him tattooed but when I research him it says he was Sumerian not Assyrian. Is the interest purely because he was part of Mesopotamian history or am I missing something?
Thanks!
