Rap and epic poetry are different because?

If someone tells you that rap has roots in African American experiences, but epic poetry is based on Greek and Roman cultures, they are really ignorant and very wrong. Epic poetry is found in all cultures, going back to the Epic of Gilgamesh in ancient Mesapotamia. Beowulf is an Old English epic. African Africans have lots of oral epics such as Lianja. Rap is not epic poetry because it does not tell a story of a supernaturally great hero. The only reason that there are no African American epics is that nobody has got around to writing one yet.


How do you get to know important things about the literature of mesopotamia can you tell you?

The most excellent literary work from ancient Mesopotamia is the Epic of Gilgamesh. Originally recited aloud, this towering work was probably recorded on clay tablets around 2000 B.C., more than one thousand years before the Iliad and the Odyssey were recorded in writing. Gilgamesh is a long narrative poem that describes the deeds of a hero in his hunt for identity and the meaning of life. Part man and part god, Gilgamesh deals with such universal themes as the meaning of friendship; fear of sickness, death, and the forces of evil; and the search for immortality.

Was noah who built the ark a real person?

Scientists tell us conclusively that there never was a great Flood as described in the Bible. And they tell us that the Flood as described would be physically impossible. Scholars tell us that the biblical story of Noah and his Ark is very similar to the flood story in the much older Epic of Gilgamesh. For these and many other reasons, we can say with certainty that Noah was not a real person.
