Isn't it incredible how cultures separated by vast distances show such similar mythological motifs?
On the left, we see Gilgamesh, the Sumerian hero, and on the right, Zeus from Greece—both depicted in powerful stances, interacting with animals as symbols of strength and dominance. The parallels are uncanny and beg the question of whether these ideas evolved independently or if some ancient form of exchange influenced them. Such imagery speaks to a shared human experience and the universal need to depict power, heroism, and divinity, hinting at a web of connections that may have spread across ancient civilizations more than we realize.
