كلمات أوتنابشتيم

Once they had crossed the ocean, Gilgamesh asked Uta-napishtim questions on the secret of Death and Life.

“For this I have wandered over the world,

I have crossed many difficult ranges,

I have crossed the seas,

I have wearied myself with travelling,

My joints are aching

and I have lost acquaintance with sleep,

Which is sweet.”
