Conversation between Muhammad and Gilgamesh

For my essay quiz this week I wrote a conversation that I imagine would occur between Muhammad, writer of the Quran and Gilgamesh. I thought that because of their difference in geographical location, religious beliefs and cultural traditions their conversation would be directed at convincing one another that their own ideas were the right ones. Where Muhammad believes in one God, Gilgamesh believes in many, and that in itself is cause for a great argument between these two historical figures. Both of these men would be likely to be stubborn in their beliefs and I don’t think that a conversation between the two would change either of their minds about what they truly believe in.
