The Epic of Gilgamesh (short movie)

The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest written story in human history. This is my humble attempt at making a cinematic piece of it.

Credits
Thanks to Ashurbanipal for making copies of the epic in his library at Nineveh. And to the Babylonians and Medes, who burned the library in 612 BC, unaware that they baked the clay tablets and made them more durable.
