In 2003, a German archaeological team announced they had located an ancient buried city beneath the Iraqi desert, preserved intact, with houses, gardens, canals, and on its edge, a structure matching the burial description in the Epic of Gilgamesh almost exactly.
The epic describes the oldest king in recorded history as two-thirds divine, the possessor of secret knowledge, who sealed everything he knew on a lapis lazuli tablet inside the walls of his city. Three weeks after the discovery announcement, the US invaded Iraq.
The excavation was abandoned. The tomb was never opened.
This video asks what was inside.
