The Legend of Etana predates the Epic of Gilgamesh.

OWNED

But is it as interesting?

[Heron TSG]

Actually, this is a list of the first 8 books.

1. Sumerian texts from Abu Salabikh, including the Instructions of Shuruppak and the Kesh Temple Hymn
2. Legend of Etana
3. Pyramid Texts, including the Cannibal Hymn
4. Code of Urukagina
5. Palermo stone
6. The Maxims of Ptahhotep
7. Enheduanna's Hymns
8. Epic of Gilgamesh

If we subtract the religious rites, codes of law, and incredibly incomplete ones, we are left with

1. The Maxims of Ptahhotep
2. The Epic of Gilgamesh

Anyone know enough ancient hieroglyphics to read the 'phrases of a pharaoh'?

[Schilcote]

They had Maxim in ancient Egypt?

'Course, considering where they believed the universe came from...

I checked the wikipedia synopsis for Elana, and I'm pretty sure I read a version of it in a book of ancient egyptian legends..

Tinypic used to be the best. Now it's the worst.

 Imageshack man, imageshack. Or photobucket if you want to access the images later.

[Aqizzar]

Tinypic used to be the best. Now it's the worst.

Resizing your images and turning them into jpegs despite being told not to?  Or just the incompetent Captcha?  But yeah, I've gone back to Imageshack myself.  And make an account, then you can access them there to, and all they want is an email, I think.

[ToonyMan]

Speaking of which, I'm going to need to make a second photobucket account soon.  I'm almost capping the storage space I have.

I checked the wikipedia synopsis for Elana, and I'm pretty sure I read a version of it in a book of ancient egyptian legends..

You may have read a part of it, but there is roughly half a tablet of it left. The others have either been lost or destroyed. Also it's from Mesopotamia, so you might be thinking of a different legend.

My computer just randomly decided to reboot itself.

THERE WILL BE PUNISHMENT LITTLE MACHINE

I read that bit. As I said, I read something that roughly corresponds to wikipedia's synopsis of the legend of Elana, in a book of egyptian legends. It was some sort of morality tale on Ra's justice. I think the animals were different, too: a giant eagle and a lioness, I think. But the outline was the same

Civ V aar:

I was Germany. I had gotten about 7-8 units from Bismark's special ability and began taking over nearby city-states. Then I attacked Almaty and met Montezuma. On the battlefield. with support from 3-4 militaristic city-states.

End result: Total defeat. I would have won if a group of warriors hadn't got past my front lines and attacked my archers.

[Heron TSG]

I met Montezuma. On the battlefield.

And this is where you went wrong. At least in Civ4, Montezuma was a terrible leader except for when he decided that the Aztecs needed to coat their continent in troops.

Actually, man, I took a look and it turns out that tinypic no longer allows links for foreigners. Which is just ass.

There's a reason I use Imgur.

I have to type up an autobiography for one of my classes.
It would probably be helpful if I had actual memories from the ages of 6-12 instead of just secondhand knowledge.
That and I hate autobiographies.
