Gilgamesh Book 9

At the beginning of the book, Gilgamesh starts to question:

• If Enkidu will arrive to the Underworld safely

• If he will also have to face death and die like Enkidu

• If he will have another friend like Enkidu

• If he has another adventure to go on to make him a hero

Gilgamesh goes eastward to find ___________, who the gods made immortal

• Utnapishtim

• Enkidu

• Aurura

• Shiduri

There are two scorpion people who gaurd the entrance to a long tunnel at the entrance of two twin mountains. What is this tunnel?

• It is where the sun moves through the earth and rises again at dawn

• It is the tunnel to the afterlife

• It is the doorway to Utnapishtim's Home

• It is the doorway to Enlil's home

Gilgamesh wants to cross the tunnel in order to:

• Find where Enkidu is in the underworld

• Cross into the realm where he can find Utnapishtim

• Cross into the realm where he can find the gods to talk to them

• Go into the underworld himself to live there forever

The two scorpion people advise Gilgamesh:

• That he must run for 12 hours or else the sun will burn him

• that the underworld is very cold and he needs to prepare better clothes

• that he must stay still in the tunnel for 24 hours

• that if he enters, he will never be able to return

After Gilgamesh reached the other side of the tunnel, he saw

• a garden where rubies and lapis grew from trees

• where Enkidu was waiting for him

• where the gods were all sleeping and taking a nap

• where the there were seven suns in the sky
