Chapter 278 The magnificent city, the city of Babylon!

Gilgamesh originally wanted to feel this glory from a long time ago, and also wanted to know whether the human beings who created this glory before a long time ago had won victory.

However, Gilgamesh never expected that when he saw him, he felt a daze in front of him, and his feet were staggering and almost unstable.

Fortunately, the trance time was extremely short, and Gilgamesh quickly came back to his senses and gained a foothold.

After standing firmly, Gilgamesh felt a cool breeze blowing and subconsciously looked up.

When Gilgamesh saw this, he couldn't help but be stunned and shocked.

Because what appeared in front of Gilgamesh at this moment was no longer the boring and monotonous scene in the laboratory, but an extremely magnificent city.

At this time, Gilgamesh seemed to be standing at the highest point of the giant city. Looking around, he could easily see the scene of the giant city.

Gilgamesh saw a vast river that runs through the city from outside the giant city from north to south.

Gilgamesh saw that on the outer edge of the giant city, there were three tall and thick walls, and the thickness of the walls increased in sequence from the outside to the inside.

And there is a defensive tower every certain distance, surrounding the city.

From the perspective of Gilgamesh, the hundreds of defensive towers formed in this ring are like giant soldiers guarding the giant city.

In addition, Gilgamesh also saw magnificent palaces and temples, as well as very stylish buildings.

Gilgamesh, who is familiar with the Mesopotamian civilization, suddenly recognized this as the architectural style of ancient Babylonian period through the architectural styles of these palaces and temples.

However, Gilgamesh does not remember that in the present world, there is such a magnificent city that retains the architectural style of the ancient Babylonian period.

Where is this...

Just when Gilgamesh was puzzled, a loud shout suddenly rang out and said "*#@"

When Gilgamesh first heard this sound, he seemed a little confused.

Because the language in this sound is not any mainstream language that Gilgamesh is familiar with.

But this strange language brought Gilgamesh a sense of familiarity.

Subconsciously looking at the sound, Gilgamesh saw two soldiers wearing light armor walking towards him with vigilance on their faces.

Gilgamesh looked at the soldiers' clothes, his expression shook, his eyes full of disbelief, and he muttered to himself, "This...how is this possible!"

As he said that, Gilgamesh seemed to have thought of something, turned his head again and looked into the scene in the giant city to see it. At the same time, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he said with shock, "Can you say... this is Babylon City!?"

While speaking, Gilgamesh also thought about why the unknown language brought me a sense of familiarity.

This is because the unknown language is Sumerian, which is the language of cuneiform.

At this moment, the two soldiers shouted loudly at Gilgamesh again.

This time, Gilgamesh combined the knowledge he had learned and recalled the cuneiform pronunciation he knew, and finally barely understood what the two soldiers were saying.

"Who are you?"

"Why did it appear on the top of the Tower of Babel?"

After understanding the soldiers' words, Gilgamesh finally confirmed that he had really walked against the long river of time and spanned thousands of years to the city of Babylon.

The reason why Gilgamesh is so confident is because of the name of the Tower of Babel.

The Tower of Babel, also known as the Tower of Babylonian Tower, is a famous building in the Babylonian period. In today's world, it has long been destroyed in the long river of time.

Gilgamesh remembers that in Hebrew mythology, there are also special mentions of the Babylonian Tower of Heaven.

In summary, humans built the Babylonian Tower to try to achieve language unity, without barriers and disputes.

God feared the great power of the humans in the mortal world to build the Babylonian city and the Tower of Heaven, and was jealous of their wisdom and success, so he casts spells to disturb their accents, making them speechless and suspicious of each other.

In the end, humans did not build the Babylonian Tower of Heaven.

In addition to mentioning the Babylonian Tower of Heaven in mythology, there are also related records in human history.

In the academic circles that study Mesopotamian civilization, it is generally believed that the Babylonian Tower is a religious building.

In the Babylonians, the throne of the Babylonian king was granted by Marduke, and the monks were servants of Marduke, and the people needed to receive his protection.

Therefore, in order to please Marduke, exchange his grace, and ensure the eternality of the country and city, the Babylonians presented the Babylonian tower as a gift to him.

At the same time, the Babylonians believed that the Babylonian Tower was the footsteps of Marduke's journey to the mortal world, and it was the inn or hotel of the Tianlu.

Therefore, people built two temples of Marduk in the Tower of Babylon, namely the Lower Temple and the Upper Temple.

The lower temple offers statues of Marduke, located at the bottom of the tower, and are specifically open to ordinary people.

The Shang Temple is located on the top of the tower.

In the upper temple, there are no statues of gods, but the decoration is very luxurious, and the overall decoration is magnificent, made of dark blue glazed bricks and decorated with gold.

Moreover, there is only one large bed in the main hall of Shangmiao, which is very luxuriously laid, and there is a gold-decorated table next to the bed.

At the same time, there lived in the temple with only a young and beautiful woman specially selected to accompany Marduke to have fun.

Because of the nature of the temple, only kings and monks can enter the temple, serve Marduke and listen to his teachings.

Recalling the various messages in his mind, Gilgamesh knew that his current situation was very bad.

If I were really on the top of the Tower of Babel, I would undoubtedly violate the taboo of Babylon.

Not to mention, I am still an unknown person and an unknown source.

Gilgamesh understood that if he was caught now, his fate would be very miserable.

‘Let’s find a way to escape from here…’

This is Gilgamesh's only idea right now.

Thinking of this, Gilgamesh quickly observed around, trying to find a way to escape.

However, after observing around, Gilgamesh seemed a little desperate again.

Because I am in awkward position, it is located on the top of the Tower of Babel. The void is nearly a hundred meters high in the back. There is no way to escape to the left, right or forward.

However, Gilgamesh did not give up and planned to give it a try and find an opportunity to make a breakthrough.

At the same time, Gilgamesh was also glad that his father had strictly required himself to learn fighting skills.

According to his father, he wanted to follow him around the world. It was dangerous to have no self-defense skills, so he practiced a lot of fighting skills.

Therefore, although Gilgamesh is a girl, his combat power is not inferior to that of an ordinary man.

At this moment, looking at the two soldiers who were getting closer, Gilgamesh took a deep breath, his eyes becoming more and more firm.

The situation is about to break out!
