The epic poem of Gilgamesh is one of the earliest and most complete pieces of literature. This work comes from Mesopotamia (now Iraq). Its origin is believed to come from a collection of myths and poems about the Greek human god Gilgamesh; he was the head of the kingdom of Uruk, one of the most powerful and well-organized civilizations in ancient history. Many years later researchers discovered the duration of their progress in their way of life and beliefs, they were very advanced for their time and created different and innovative ways to develop and strengthen civilization. The plot of the studied poem develops surrounding the relationship between Gilgamesh and his partner Enkidu; Gilgamesh was the king of Uruk and was believed to be two-thirds god and one-third human. As the story develops, Gilgamesh's dear friend Enkidu dies, which makes Gilgamesh realize that death comes to everyone, so he begins a journey to seek immortality. Gilgamesh differs from other mythological heroes and individuals because he is, or in part, historical, he was king around 2500 BC in an incredibly civilization. Uruk, was a Sumerian city, it was one of the most important cities of Babylon. King Gilgamesh admired the beauty of his kingdom and recognized its quality for how it had developed so well and showed that it was still ongoing, in one of the passages of the poem where Gilgamesh returns to his home he explains his admiration and love for it great civilization; although he has lost his battle to find immortality, he is grateful to return to that place. There Gilgamesh the king said to the boatman: “Study masonry, study fortification; climb the ancient staircase to the terrace; study how it is...... half the paper...... any longer and the wealth and knowledge of this people would be lost. Gilgamesh had great admiration for his kingdom Uruk and explored many other lands during his travels. Uruk was part of a group of city-states where much progress and new discoveries were made. The Sumerian people were pioneers in writings and literature; they learned to survive through farming, hunting, and fishing and used this to build a strong and stable economy to trade goods with other statistical cities. They were geographically well positioned, which made them rich in resources and protected against any attacks from enemies and if in any case they were attacked, a leader would step in and take command. This great civilization lasted for years but soon saw its end after being invaded, but despite this their great discoveries and contributions to the modern world persist..
