I recently read the Enkidu Letters (the Cortana Letters for Halo 2) and decided to Google Enkidu. I eventually came to the story of Gilgamesh, an ancient babylonian hero. Here's the link to the story: http://www.mythome.org/Gilgamesh.html.

I found something interesting at the very beginning.

"He saw the great Mystery, he knew the Hidden:
He recovered the knowledge of all the times before the Flood.
He journeyed beyond the merely distant; he struggled beyond mere exhaustion,
And then he carved his story on stone.
He walked on the sacred ground of Eanna,
He walked on the sacred walls of Eanna,
Holy Eanna's sacred city of Uruk.
Touch the wall as crying women touch them
They touch the walls as they once touched their soldiers now all dead, every one
No one has ever built walls like these.
Stand on these walls and feel the wind in the darkest night
Feel the wind leap away to the heavens above from the walls below."

Sounds kind of like Halo, no? I wonder if there are any clues to Halo 2 in there somewhere . . .

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

Sorry man it is a Fan Fiction story.

While it was going on there was a huge 1000 post thread about it.

I know but this is an excerpt the Gilgamesh story (written thousands of years ago), not the Enkidu letters.

Ok, I see. Then continue with your analysis.
