Everything is from The Epic of Gilgamesh.
Even The Epic of Gilgamesh is a rip off of The Epic of Gilgamesh.
Wait, wut?
The date and authorship of the Gītā are not known with certainty and scholars of an earlier generation opined that it was composed between the 5th and the 2nd century BCE. Radhakrishnan, for example, asserted that the origin of the Gītā is definitely in the pre-Christian era. More recent assessments of Sanskrit literature, however, have tended to bring the chronological horizon of the texts down in time. In the case of the Gītā, John Brockington has now made cogent arguments that it can be placed in the first century CE.
Gilgamesh is more than 4000 years old.Epic of Gilgamesh, in its Sumerian version predating 2000 BC, and the Egyptian Book of the Dead written down in the Papyrus of Ani in approximately 250 BC but probably dates from about the 18th century BC
Did I say anything about the gita being older? Anyway, it was for humor value only.Gilgamesh is still older, at least in written form.
