Hidden within the poetic verses of the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the world's oldest religious texts, are indispensable clues to the nature and origin of the world's earliest religious tradition- The Ancient Tradition. Once you've given Tablet IV a listen, turn your ear to our sister podcast, The Ancient Tradition, where we reveal striking similarities in the ancient record- myths, cosmologies, theologies, and sacred writings- which point to an original, pure religion in deep antiquity. Is it the true religion? If so, you are in for the theological adventure of a lifetime.
In this audio recording of the Epic of Gilgamesh, Tablet IV, King Gilgamesh and Enkidu make their journey to the Forest of Cedar. Gilgamesh and Enkidu stop five times along the way to perform a ritual to evoke a dream. Each time Gilgamesh wakes from a nightmare. Enkidu reassures Gilgamesh his dreams are favorable and they proceed to the Forest of Cedar.
