Happy Monday!
Sorry for the sad week. As we’re nearing the FINAL CHAPTER, I’m afraid things get “darkest before the dawn”.
Hang in there.

We left last week with actual battle damage on Alex. And now today Google-ish doesn’t know something. Things are very dark indeed. Ooooh, every day is going to feel like a cliffhanger!
If you google it, the Epic of Gilgamesh comes up on top.
His Google Fu is weak.
What? Does no form of Gilgamesh not exist in this universe?
Interesting. Black people tend to have broader noses than white individuals… yet it appears he ran into a brick wall! 😀
For your information, it was a cement wall, and it hurt a lot, thank you very much! 😛
One thing about computers you’ll have to like is…their spellchecker! 😉
Dude, ask the elves! Oo One of them is holding it, and surely they’re aware of the legends. Um, aren’t they?
Also, I’m hoping the scabbard gives Alex time to heal before he wakes up, ’cause otherwise he’s going to be in a lot of pain.
“Drink your Ovaltine!”
Yeah, a little odd for this comic to use something that actually exists in literature, and then do THIS. It DOES come up in google.
I searched it on Yahoo and the whole first page except one entry is Dreamland Chronicles 😐
Maybe the wraiths took out the servers hosting those websites?
Oh, you’ve GOT to be kidding.
I think Dan should have tried to spell it phonetically instead of getting it correct right away. There’s no reason he would get it right the first time if he’s never heard of it and he would, in fact, come up with nothing on Google (I tried a couple variations).
To be fair, that’s not how Google looks.
Early on, when Daniel started studying a lot of references to understand Alex’s adventures, I thought, “Why so many hardcopies? Surely he can search the Bible more easily online.”
It means “read the freaking manual”
3000 BC is still not the correct Gilgamesh (a different one, a king of Kish, not of Uruk). The rejuvenating vessel (S.I.A.) is related to a different Gilgamesh (one that lived almost 300 years later). And he had it stolen from him.
I think Scott wanted to throw people off and Abaddon is in fact Namer (first pharaoh, lived around 3000 BC). Too bad Djoser (first pyramid, albeit stepped/with mastabas) or Khufu (first straight pyramid, largest one) couldn’t make the cut, they could have pretended mummification and their pyramids were for ritualistic purposes, but in reality, it could have been a mandatory requirement to shift to Dreamland.
Dreamland Chronicles is the second result… Just saying. 🙂
Very.
It’s interesting that in Googling the same thing numerous instances put Nimrod in the place of Gilgamesh. Do some scholars equate the two?
(And 2700 B.C. or between 2800, or 2500 BC [Gilgamesh’s reign] is pretty close to 3000. The epic itself was written about 2100 BC though. @toughluck )
The Epic of Gilgamesh was the first hit for me.
C’mon.
I think the problem is he’s using a Bing knockoff instead of Google 😛
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED! I like your explanation. It’s the only one that makes sense to me.
Maybe Abaddon MADE Bing to defeat Daniel. It would explain so many things! :O
Stop being a hipster, Dan, and use a real search engine. Surrender your soul to the gods that are Google.
Well, obviously he’s not using Google.
