Gilgamesh of Uruk — The First King | Heritage Metal Sign

The walls of Uruk were his greatest achievement — he built them to last, and they did, and he had the story of his life carved on them so that travelers who came after could read what he had seen and done. The Epic of Gilgamesh ends with Gilgamesh pointing to the walls of Uruk and saying: this is what I built. This is what remains. This is enough. It is the oldest and most honest conclusion to a human life ever written down. The walls, the cedar forest, the first autobiography — in permanent aluminum.
