Reading blog Gilgamesh, tablet: XI

In this section of the book Gilgamesh wants to find out how to become inmortal. So he goes in a quest to find Utnapishtim, the only human being to be accepted in the society of gods. Utnapishtim tells him the story of how the gods rewarded him for being wise and converted him and his wife into inmortals. Gilgamesh has to stay awake for seven days to prove his worth, but he falls asleep for seven days. The wife of Utnapishtim tells him that Gilgamesh traveled a difficult journey and he should be rewarded. He tells him of a flower that is beneath the sea that can turn him into a young person once again. When he is traveling to Uruk a Snake steels the flower. He then realizes that it is a sign for him to abandon the quest he has.

This part of the book reminds me of Pirates of the Caribean 4. The movie is about a pirate (jack sparrow) that wants to become inmortal so he goes in a dangerous quest to the fountain of youth. But in the way he finds many obstacles but when he finally gets to the fountain he realizes it is not meant for him to be inmortal. IT completely remids me of Gilgamesh because it is very similar. He also goes on a very dangerous quest and realizes he is not meant to be inmortal.
