Epic Of Gilgamesh Eternal Life
1,182 wordsCommon Threads: Great Flood and the Flood in The Epic of Gilgamesh Did the authors of the Old Testament have a copy of The Epic of Gilgamesh? Or was this fantastic plot, and its unmistakably recognizable specifics, simply a part of the broader oral history of the time, which possibly originated with a real event?

Homosexual Marriage Gay Marriage
891 wordsOne of the lesser topics making waves in society is that of gay marriage. I call it a lesser topic because, while gay marriage is an important issue, it simply does not hold a candle to war. War is perhaps the most meaningful outlet for the full spectrum of human expression, and we should make it our primary focus always. Way down the list of important topics, right after healthcare and global warming, is gay marriage. As a straight man belonging to the coveted 18 - 25 -year-old male demographic...

His father Niccolo was a prosperous merchant who imported luxury goods from Asia. When Marco was just six years old, his father sailed off to Istanbul (then called Constantinople) and didn? t come ...
