In this episode, I started my journey in Hilla, a city neighboring Babylon, with the goal of walking on the same ground as Gilgamesh, a Babylonian ruler I had studied previously. However, during my visit to the old Babylon City, I learned that Gilgamesh was actually a Sumerian leader who ruled Uruk, not Babylon. This realization prompted me to head to Uruk, a small town 150 kilometers away, to continue exploring. The night before my trip, I visited one of Saddam's abandoned palaces and celebrated a delightful Thanksgiving with my newfound friends. The following day, I embarked on my journey to Uruk, where I explored the ancient ruins and completed my mission for this episode.
