Who...is..Deadliest?!?To find out our world class fighters are testing historie's most lethal weapons.Using 21st century science,we see what happens when 2 warriors go toe to toe.No rules,no safety,no mercy.It's a duel to the death,history will be rewritten,but only 1 will be crowned the Deadliest Warrior.

First,Gilgamesh  was the fifth king of Uruk, and the central figure of the Epic of Gilgamesh, considered by some to be the first novel ever written. Although he was of divine descent, the gods came to fear Gilgamesh's power, and instructed the wild man Enkidu to stop him. Enkidu fought against Gilgamesh, but the two found they were evenly matched, and forged an unbreakable friendship.

Later, the goddess Ishtar tried to seduce Gilgamesh, but was spurned. In revenge, Ishtar unleashed the Bull of Heaven upon Uruk. Gilgamesh and Enkidu managed to slay the Bull, but for killing the divine animal, the gods decreed that Gilgamesh must die. Enkidu sacrificed himself to save his friend, but Gilgamesh was left deeply traumatized.

Afraid of death, Gilgamesh ventured into the underworld to seek out Utnapishtim, the only human to have been gifted with immortality. Utnapishtim attempted to convince Gilgamesh of the need for death, but the king remained unconvinced. Finally, Utnapishtim told Gilgamesh of a plant hidden under the ocean that could grant eternal youth. Gilgamesh retrieved the plant, but it was eaten by a snake, which, according to the Sumerians, was why snakes were apparently able to remain forever young by shedding their skin.

Gilgamesh fought his way to immortality with:

Now,Odysseus was  The king of the Greek island Ithaca,  Odysseus  was a cunning and brutal Greek warrior in the Trojan War. After devising the Trojan Horse, which would lead to victory for the Greeks, Odyseeus began a long journey back to his kingdom. Odysseus is trapped on the island of Calypso, having been thrown off course by Poseidon for murdering his Cyclops son Polyphemos, and remains there for several years. Arriving on the island of the Phaiakains, he retells his tale of battling Sirens' temptations, two sea monsters, travel the Underworld, and angering Helios.

Moved by his tale, the Phaiakains send Odyseeus home with treasure for his troubles. Arriving to see his wife Penelope under the assault of various suitors, Odyseeus proves himself her real husband by reciting their wedding vows and shooting an arrow through 12 axeheads. Satisfied that his wife still loves him, Odyseeus and his men slay the suitors with the favor of Athena.

Odysseus won the Trojan war with: My Edges:

Short:Edge Gilgamesh:The Khopesh is longer and cuts deeper.

Mid:Edge Gilgamesh:The javelin is bad for mid range,the Spear is better and more lethal.

Long:Edge Odysseus:The Great bow has range and power over the Sumerian javelin.

Special:Edge Odysseus:Chopping beats smashing every day.

X-Factors:

Strenght:Gilgamesh 100,Odysseus 91:Odysseus might be demigod,but he had normal human strenght,while Gilgamesh was 1/3 human and 2/3 god,he defeated Humbaba and this is why he is superior.

Intelligence:Gilgamesh 80,Odysseus 95:This time Odysseus wins this,with better tactics such as the Trojan horse and much more,he was more successful,while Gilgamesh probably never lead troops into battles,he fought only with Enkidu.

Armor:Gilgamesh 48,Odysseus 89:Again another point for Odysseus.The Bronze armor,shield and helmet beats the leather lammelar covered by copper,the copper helmet and cowhide shield.

Brutality:Gilgamesh 96,Odysseus 84:Odysseus was calm and he haven't killed very brutaly someone(except in the Trojan War),while Gilgamesh was ruthless tyrant,he brutaly killed Humbaba,fought the bull of Heavens and after Enkidu dies,he wents crazy and tried to became immortal.
