Reference?
« on: May 26, 2009, 12:10:04 pm »
Is there some connection between Enkidukai and the character Enkidu in the epic Gilgamesh? Enkidu was the half-beast guy who lived in the wild until the prostitute "tamed" him and etc... Just wondering.

Are there any other connections/references?

This is so weird.  I swear I remember doing a google for Enkidukai at one point, and this page on an Egyptian half-cat god came up.  Now I can't find a trace of anything like what I remember.  Could I have dreamed it?
