Епот за Гилгамеш е најстариот пишуван споменик во светската литература. Неговото настанување се врзува за третиот милениум пред новата ера (2000 – 1800 год.), меѓутоа корените на неговите прапочетоци досегаат уште неколку стотици години поназад, а директно се однесува на културата и традицијата на еден од најстарите народи, Сумерците. Во науката се уште постои дилема од каде е потеклото на овој несемитски (нееврејски) народ, кој ги населил плодните пространства меѓу реките Тигар и Еуфрат.

Translation
English

Translated by circe
Target language: English

The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest written monument of world literature. It dates back to the third millennium before the new era (2000-1800 BC), the roots of its prototypes can be traced back hundreds of years earlier, while it relates directly to the culture and traditions of one of the oldest peoples – the Sumerians. There is no scientific explanation yet of the origin of this non-semite (non-jewish) people, who inhabited the fertile lands between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates.

Hi Circe

This looks really good.

Just a point though, "non-semite" is not synonymous to "non-jewish".

Though nowadays mainly jewish, the semites (descendants of Shem, oldest son of Noah) still include (amongst others) arabian peoples from southern Asia, certain aficain peoples...

Since it seems to be in the original you did well to translate it, I just made the precision in case you might want to know.
