| CEDAR | |
| Posted By: skraeling | Date: 4/29/04 12:13 p.m. |
In Response To: New Enkidu - G... (Ross Mills [subnova]) I didn't see this posted in the other Enkidu discussions, which I found odd. In the Enkidu transmissions it says "ENCR1024-PUBKEY: CEDAR." This is interesting because cedar, a type of tree, played a big part in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh is told to go slay Humbaba, a viscious giant that guards an enormous cedar forest. Only Enkidu knows how to get there though, and he briefs Gilgamesh on what kind of opponent Humbaba is. The two heroes get Humbaba's attention by chopping down some cedar trees. Humbaba comes running to see who is defiling the forest he was meant to be guarding for the gods. Gilgamesh sees the giant and gets scared, then Enkidu tells Gilgamesh to quit his blubbing and kill the thing. Then Humbaba asks Gilgamesh to become allies. Gilgamesh kills Humbaba with the help of Enkidu. Also, a strong wood like cedar was considered valuable by people of the middle east. | |
