Tablet 8 of Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh is a broken man now that Enkidu has died. Gilgamesh has been standing over the body of Eknidu, weeping, recalling memories they shared tgether; killing Huwawa, fightinf the Bull of Heaven, killing it, and sitting down to rest. Gilgamesh keeps asking, " How was your face made dark?". While Gilgamesh is mourning, he asks the whole city to mourn the loss of his beloved companion. Because Gilgamesh doesn't want anybody to forget about Enkidu, he decides to bulid a statue to honor his deeds. Gilgamesh has also made an altar where he has laid, in different bowls, offerings of honey, lapis lazuli, and butter. These offerings were made to honor Enkidu as a god.
