the story of gilgamesh might be based on a real king from what ancient civilization
Gilgamesh flood myth Gilgameshâ€™s supposed historical reign is believed to have been approximately 2700 BCE,[2] shortly before the earliest known written stories. The discovery of artifacts associated with Aga and Enmebaragesi of Kish, two other kings named in the stories, has lent credibility to the historical existence of Gilgamesh.[3]
