Well, yes we are off-topic just as soon as the dragon leaves Britain.
Gilgamesh is naturally older than Noah... and just as real. :lol:
Sometimes, things get fudged in translation. Originally this Sumerian deity was a serpent and pictorially depicted as one. Linguisticly from cunic, to Greek, to "modernity," the sepent became a dragon. The same thing occurs in poor translations of Egyptian; and so-called "historains" like Sir. Laurence Gardner have carried the improbable to gospel-truth. Cracked Quote of the day: "Caratacus was the first Pendragon of the island." SLG. :roll:
(ps: According to SLG, the Egyptian pendragon was annointed with "crocodile fat" (as opposed to bacon grease)-- becomeing the "messa," or as I would call it... the "slippery messa." I don't think the off-topical phrase "pendragon" has any historical background in ancient Britain at all; and all the references to it-- him-- he-- are medieval concoctions of romantic and deluded scribes.) :wink:
