And then we have the Epic of Gilgamesh, a 6,000 year old story that reminisces about times long past.

... and Dinosaurs ruled the earth for about 165 million years and even that is only 3% of the time our planet has been around.

Modern man, including the writers of Gilgamesh, are but a fleeting speck on the history of life on this planet.
