Question 1
In the epic of Gilgamesh, nature is significant to the culture of Mesopotamia. Nature describes the Enkidu and his illiterate ways before finding alliance with Gilgamesh. Enkidu is formed from soil, and the round survives in the desert waste. The whole body is unkempt and his head is like a woman’s rare in the third millennium.
