Gilgamesh

We have read a story of Gilgamesh and his quest to finding inmortality and  of his strength. Through some searching i found that Gilgamesh was the inspriation of one of the charcaters in one of the all time best game series, Final Fantasy. In the games Gilgamesh wears blightly colored armor and clothes just as told in the story. he also carries many weapons which which can be stolen from him and gives u one of the strongest armor sets there are in the game. This goes along with the story of Gilgamesh becuase he is the strongest there is and his is favored by the gods. It also shows that games find charcaters to put by looking into myth stories.

Isis and Osiris and zombies

In the Eygptian myth Isis and Osiris; Osiris dies and goes to the undrworld where Isis goes to retreive him and help him get back to the immortal world in the sky and later becoming the God of the Underworld. Osiris is depicted by the Eygptians with having green skin. I can only think of only one other type of "human" that has green skin caused by the decay of dieing. Zombies. So by linking the two together and with Osiris being the God of the Underworld, he is the God of the Zombies. So Eygptians are giving power to Osiris by idilizing him as a God and thus if there were to be a Zombie invasion I beleive it would originate in Eypt.
