Gilgamesh disappears from the poet's vision.
It took the poet a long time to react.
Look at the era in your hands.
His eyes gradually became less dull.
"Am I affirmed by the king?"
"No problem?"
In an instant, the poet jumped up in surprise.
Snapped--
Falling from the top of the clouds to the bottom of the city wall.
Fortunately, there was straw behind the city wall.
The poet lay there for a long time, laughing, thankful that he was safe and sound, and finally got up, picked up the slate, and wrote on it.
[“I put my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds, and I will remember the covenant between me and you and all living creatures of all flesh. You can also climb the high tower of Babel and see our covenant. The waters will no longer flood and destroy all living creatures of all flesh.” Salvia made a covenant with the people on earth with the rainbow, promising that people’s lives will be perfect. - "Old Testament. Genesis"]
……
another side.
Ishtar finished her discussion with the remaining two fools.
And also embarked on the road to find Susa.
Or to find the way to the underworld.
Although in theory, the concept of the underworld is beneath the earth.
But it is also necessary to find the correct entry method.
Especially after Susa changed the earth veins, the underworld was not restricted like the sacred mountain, but gradually strengthened together with the mortal world.
After all, the world is life and the underworld is death, which is what life must have.
Coupled with the turmoil in the earth veins, Ishtar had no choice but to keep looking for the correct way to enter the underworld.
So much so that Ishtar now only needs to fly for a short time.
They were about to land, dig up the ground, and find out what was going on.
In order to find the right path.
Sometimes you will even run into farmers who are working in the fields.
Because of the existence of Susa, people at least still respect the goddess Ishtar as always, but they are also less afraid of her.
Sometimes some children would even look for Ishtar to ask for candies and candied fruits during special festivals.
The reason why it is special is that... there are so many festivals on this land now, and some can even be repeated in one day.
Today's farmers, simple farmers, will also talk to Ishtar when they see her.
He asked, "Dear Goddess Ishtar, what do you want to do now? Do you need our help?"
Although she was anxious, Ishtar said patiently, "No need. I am looking for the way to the underworld."
"why?"
the farmer asked, picking up his hoe and wanting to help.
Ishtar shook her head and said, "I can do it myself, because I need to go to Hades to save the dormitory."
“But it’s hard.”
Even farmers know how difficult this task is.
But Ishtar said firmly: "No matter how difficult it is, I will find that way and knock on the door to the underworld."
Ishtar always told others this no matter how many people she met.
So much so that Ishtar's ambition became widely known.
People also hoped that Ishtar could find Susa and fulfill that long-awaited story.
Finally, these words and long-cherished wishes were gathered on the stone slab.
[“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Which of you is there, that if his son asks for bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a snake? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will you, your sleeping king, give good things to those who ask him?” - Old Testament. Enan’s Lamentation]
People hope that the "sleeping" Lord of Salvia can bless the kind goddess and give them bread when they ask for bread and fish when they ask for fish.
Go to the underworld and find Him who is "sleeping".
……
Tower of Babel.
Still standing above the earth.
Since the death of Susa, the mountain has appeared in the world.
He is known to the people as the inhabitant of Susa.
At the same time, he is also the gathering point of the Sumerian spiritual veins.
Even if the Hammer of Heaven falls, the contract still exists in the world.
The Tower of Babel is a symbol of the covenant.
The two mythical beasts, Humbaba and the Bull of Heaven, also often appear around the Tower of Babel.
He guards the peace of Susa and also protects the world in accordance with Susa's last contract before his death.
Therefore, people consider these as sacred mountains.
A mountain for pilgrimage.
Even though Susa is dead, the faith in Susa has never diminished.
People still believe in Susa devoutly.
While lamenting the beauty of life, one will also feel sorry for the passing of one's master.
He was killed in a surprise attack.
He died inexplicably.
He died with all his unfulfilled wishes.
He is everyone's pity.
On the day of their adulthood, young believers would climb to the temple on the top of the mountain in search of Susa.
Even if an elderly priest is too weak to walk, he will ask his family to support him, or his old colleagues to climb to the top of the mountain together to meet the gods he reveres.
Ten years have passed like a day, and nearly ten years have passed.
Such activities have not only not decreased, but have increased.
This is still the case today.
"Everyone, try harder."
The old priest leaned on his walking stick and shouted, "We are almost at the top of the mountain, and we will be able to see the temple of our monarch."
As the earliest priest to follow Susa, the old priest is still the ruler of the world today.
In the name of Susa, together with Siduri of Uruk, she ruled the land with the permission of Ishtar.
As the population grew and civilization recovered, governance became increasingly busy.
But even so, there is a period of time, or several periods of time, every year when the old priests will climb the holy mountain with many of the earliest administrators who followed Susa.
Many of them are elderly and may be dying soon.
But when it comes to faith, they still haven't forgotten it.
"Why do you have to climb up here?"
Today, a young man who had just become a priest asked: "Our Lord has returned to the earth, such a climb ..."
This is not about being unbelieving, disrespectful, or pagan.
Instead, when the young people see the old priests’ bodies deteriorating, even though they respect them, they also feel sad for the greatness of their faith.
"Shut up."
The old priest roared with a rebuke: "My Lord will not die. My Lord said that He would promise us a stable life, so He will not die.
He will be like all the previous battles. He did not die when he rebelled against the tyrant, and he was victorious when facing the Bull of Sky. He was a pioneer of civilization when he established city-states, and he gave a home to the savages who had nowhere to go when he unified Sumer, and he gave the originally weak people someone to rely on.
These are the miracles he has created, and he will continue to create such miracles.
So faith!
Only faith can wake him up!
Only then can he lead us again!
Only then can…"
The old priest looked at the many young people in the team and felt sad.
Susa, who once organized an uprising, was the same age as them, but he had no friends and no love. Susa lived in such an environment until his death.
As the person who is most familiar with Susa and has been with Susa the longest, the old priest knows all this.
He sighed deeply: “Only then can I say to Him…thank you.
So that He can watch us... and praise our progress.”
The young man was speechless.
The climb continues.
Unfortunately, when they arrived at the sacred mountain, apart from the appearance of Fumbaba, there were no other strange phenomena.
Spring passes and autumn comes.
Year 11…
People climbed up and saw the Bull of Heaven.
In the twelfth year, Humbaba appeared again.
Thirteenth year...still no vision.
Fourteenth year, nothing has changed.
Fifteenth Year…
The old priest had only a few teeth left in his mouth.
The number of old friends following his team is also decreasing.
Although the young people's faith is strong and full of vitality...
But the old priest knew that the same young man was sleeping on this mountain.
Since climbing was not possible, the old priest changed his climbing method to kneeling every ten steps.
Ten steps are not enough, just five steps or three steps.
So much so that today's old priest has climbed to the top of the Tower of Babel, kneeling down with every step.
He wanted to use his sincere faith to exchange for Susa's awakening.
but……
“It’s still the same…”
thump!
The old priest knocked his head against the hard stone and said, "My Lord, please wake up."
"Please……"
"Please... wake up."
