The literary history of Gilgamesh begins with five Sumerian poems about Bilgamesh (Sumerian for "Gilgamesh"), king of Uruk, dating from the Third Dynasty of Ur (c. 2100 BC). These independent stories were later used as source material for a combined epic in Akkadian. The first surviving version of this combined epic, known as the "Old Babylonian" version, dates back to the 18th century BC and is titled after its incipit, Shūtur eli sharrī ("Surpassing All Other Kings"). Only a few tablets of it have survived. The later Standard Babylonian version compiled by Sîn-lēqi-unninni dates from the 13th to the 10th centuries BC and bears the incipit Sha naqba īmuru ("He who Saw the Abyss", in unmetaphoric terms: "He who Sees the Unknown"). Approximately two-thirds of this longer, twelve-tablet version have been recovered. Some of the best copies were discovered in the library ruins of the 7th-century BC Assyrian king Ashurbanipal. The text in Sumerian: Ud rēa, ud sura rēa Ngi rēa, ngi bara rēa Mu rēa mu sura rēa Ud ul ningduē pa ēaba Ud ul ningduē mi zid duggaaba Eš kalammaka ninda šuaba Imšurinna kalammaka ningtab akaba An kita badabaraaba Ki anta badasuraaba Mu namluulu baangaraaba The text in English: In those days, in those distant days In those nights, in those ancient nights In those years, in those distant years In those ancient days all things had been created In ancient time when all things were given their place When bread was first tasted in the sacred shrines of the land When the ovens had been lighted When the heavens had been separated from the earth When the earth had been separated from the heavens When mankind had been established Guy who made the song:    / copperleaves   #sumer
