Three Chinese scientists set the journey to plunge into the bottom of the South China Sea and they were successful. The dive was approximately 3,759 meter in depth and the scientists were in a tiny submarine, size of a small truck. This is the furthest anyone has tried to go in depth. There were previous tries but none of them were as deep as this one. And in the future years, the Chinese scientists plan to push even deeper. It is a very big accomplishment for the Chinese because they have outcome all the forces and problem to conquest even the deepest sea. They have accomplished a huge goal by exploring the deep, dark and enormous sea bed. They even planted their flags in the sea bed where the submarine landed. By now you can tell how this is related to the Epic of Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh is a powerful king, and so he decides to conquer the Cedar Mountains and kill Humbaba, the beast who ruled the lands of the cedar forest. And he is successful in accomplishing his goal, and he does it with the help of Enkidu. Similarly, in the case of the scientist, they were successful because they had each others help. If they worked alone then they might not be successful just the Gilgamesh would not be able to conquer the cedar forest without Enkidu. The Scientists conquered the enormous sea just as Gilgamesh conquered the vast Cedar Forest.
