A clay tablet carrying a very deep philosophical text from the Epic of Gilgamesh from Mesopotamia, and the translation of the text is as follows:
Where are you seeking, Gilgamesh?
You will not find the life you are looking for, because when the gods created humans, they decreed death over them, and they took control of life. As for you, Gilgamesh, always have your stomach full, be merry day and night, celebrate every day of your life, and dance and rejoice day and evening. Make your clothes clean and bright, wash yourself with water, pamper the child holding your hand, and make the wife happy in your arms. This is the share of humanity.
The tablet is located in the Pergamon Museum, Germany
