In this lecture for teens and adults, we will explore the remarkable journey of the Epic of Gilgamesh — one of humanity’s oldest stories — from obscurity to rediscovery. We’ll trace how ancient clay tablets were unearthed from ruined palaces and libraries, the challenges faced by scholars in deciphering lost Mesopotamian languages, and how the forgotten world of Sumer was brought back to life through their dedication.


The Epic of Gilgamesh lay buried in silence for two thousand years until archaeologists and linguists unlocked its secrets. Their efforts allowed this ancient text, filled with myths, heroes, and gods, to speak again — bridging millennia and reclaiming its place in our shared cultural memory. In our lecture, we will uncover these stories together.



«Hey friends! If you’re curious about ancient stories and how long-lost worlds can come back to life, I’d love to see you at this lecture. You don’t need to know anything about history or archaeology — just bring your sense of wonder. We’ll talk about how the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the oldest stories ever told, was forgotten for thousands of years and then rediscovered through some incredible twists of fate. It’s a tale of adventure, mystery, and epic discoveries — both in the ancient past and in modern times. Come and let’s explore this amazing story together!», — Armen Zakharyan
