Where does the epic of Gilgamesh take place?

Answer 1

Answer: gilgamesh locationssince king gilgamesh is supposed to have reigned in uruk and many locations are spread through today's irak, syria, Lebanon and turkey, it's possibly been written within that region. starting from ancient sumer, through akkad, assur and further to the west. the mountain forests mentioned in the confrontation with humbaba are probably those in southern and eastern turkey.

in gilgamesh, there are many references to events that also took place in The Bible as well as other stories and legends. so you'd have to specify your question by actually asking about a specific event in the epic as they are all spread out throughout the middle-eastern region

Answer 2

At Messopotamia,Babylon area. Gilgamesh,the hero,was from Uruk, an ancient Babylonian city,at the east of Eufrates river.

_______________

Locations include the wild steppe beyond the city of Uruk where Enkidu originally roams, the city of Uruk itself in southern mesopotamia, the cedar mountain where the two heroes slay Humbaba, and the distant home of the flood hero, Utnapishtim, beyond the twin peaks of Mashu at the end of the world and across the waters of death. The cedar mountain is located in Lebanon in the later version of the epic but there is some debate about the location of Utnapishtim. This is perhaps because he inhabits a somewhat mythical realm that no ordinary mortal can reach. Despite this, suggestions range from modern day Bahrain, to the headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, to the ancient city of Eridu located downstream from Uruk on the way to the Persian gulf.
