Title: Epic of Gilgamesh to... (the Wikilink game) Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on September 27, 2012, 06:49:31 PM To play, simply click on the last link within the sentence whereupon you'll land on another Wikipedia page, find a sentence containing only one link that tickles your fancy, then post it.
To show how the game is played, I'll start with a few examples, starting with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh_epic Quote The story centers on a friendship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enkidu). Quote Gilgamesh's close observation of rigor mortis and the slow decomposition of Enkidu's body provides the hero with the impetus for his quest for eternal life, and his visit to Utnapishtim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utnapishtim). Quote Unfortunately, when Gilgamesh stops to bathe, it is stolen by a serpent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpent_(symbolism)), who sheds its skin as it departs. Quote The Ancient Egyptians associated it with Wadjet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadjet), one of their oldest deities as well as another aspect, Hathor. Quote The uraeus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uraeus) originally had been her body alone, which wrapped around or was coiled upon the head of the pharaoh or another deity. Quote There is evidence for this tradition even in the Old Kingdom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Kingdom) during the third millennium BCE. There is a little work involved such that you'll have to incorporate the link manually. Caution is advised, for this is addictive. Enjoy! ~Bruno~ Click on Old Kingdom above and find a complete sentence on that Wikipedia which contains only one link and post it, making sure to included the link and that it is functional. Feel free to include several finds within one post, or break them up to increase your post count. Title: Re: Epic of Gilgamesh to...
