Description

Join Gilgamesh on his adventures with his best friend Enkidu as they fight monsters, brave earthquakes, and fight the Bull of Heaven as they travel the world. Then follow Gilgamesh on his journey to find Utnapishtim the Faraway. See how Gilgamesh goes from a young handsome King to a broken down, aged looking man. Will the "Old-man-young" bring back his youth? The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the oldest recorded stories in the world. Was he a real King over the Sumerian city of Uruk in Mesopotamia, or is he just a story from folklore? ~ Phyllis

Using quality classical or award-winning literature, students learn history with a focus on gaining understanding, perspective, and critical thinking skills. Learning to analyze, think independently, choose and defend opinions with evidence, and empathy are the goals of this study.
