[00:00.18]Long ago, in the ancient city of Uruk, there lived a mighty king named Gilgamesh.
[00:05.84]He was two thirds divine and one third human, gifted with unmatched strength and wisdom.
[00:11.88]Under his rule, Uruk grew into a dazzling city with towering walls and bustling streets.
[00:18.22]Yet, despite his greatness, Gilgamesh was restless.
[00:22.54]He ruled his people with a heavy hand, leaving them exhausted by his endless demands.
[00:28.18]The citizens prayed to the gods for relief from their king's tyranny.
[00:32.18]In response, the gods decided to humble Gilgamesh.
[00:35.80]They created a wild man named Enkidu, who roamed the forests and ran with the animals.
[00:42.08]Enkidu was Gilgamesh's equal in strength, but he knew nothing of civilization or human ways.
[00:48.12]As word of Enkidu's deeds spread, Gilgamesh sensed the arrival of a challenge, a rival who could match his power.
[00:54.94]This encounter would set the stage for a legendary friendship and a journey that would change both their fates forever.
