The King of Heroes of ancient Uruk, Gilgamesh?
Many people around the world took action in the real world, and many historians directly explained the situation of Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh comes from the heroic epic of Gilgamesh which was excavated and has detailed ancient stone records.
This epic was found on clay tablets excavated in the Sumerian zone. It is a heroic epic that has been confirmed by humans and has detailed story records.
According to speculation, Gilgamesh existed between the 28th and 26th centuries BC and was the king of the ancient city-state of Uruk.
Legend has it that two-thirds of him was a god, and one-third was a human. He is a Demi-God with extremely powerful strength, and his epic story is also very Western-style, descending to the underworld, and ruling the most powerful country in Sumeria at that time.
According to the research of historians, Gilgamesh in the epic did exist, but the epic stories he experienced are likely based on ancient worship and exaggerated propaganda influence.
After all, people in ancient times, both in the East and the West, actually liked to give themselves the identity of a certain son of God, and would publicize it based on the need for fame, other interests, or simply to show off.
This kind of epic legend basically comes from the same origin, and it keeps appearing endlessly for thousands of years. The heroic epics of ancient Greek times were heavily influenced by the epic "Gilgamesh", and there are all kinds of myths.
Although from a modern perspective, all these stories are wrong, the epic itself is indeed the first heroic epic that humans have clear cultural relic evidence. Coupled with Gilgamesh's status as a king, he is the oldest King of Heroes.
However, now it seems that the epic story is true. At least Gilgamesh is real, so he can be summoned as a Heroic Spirit.
Although supernatural things do exist, it is very likely that the gods and monsters in epic legends also exist.
This is very scary to think about.
There is no doubt that Gilgamesh's identity being revealed has directly doubled the Holy Grail War.
If other characters exist in history and are clearly recorded, then Gilgamesh directly brings the Heroic Spirits of the Holy Grail War to the level of the mythical age, and instantly raises the level by several levels.

Chaldea.
Murata crossed his arms and looked serious: "Gilgamesh… is truly a mythical figure. If he is really a Demi-God, then… Do gods really exist? Or… are there creatures called gods in ancient times?"
"Thinking about it this way, it's understandable why Gilgamesh seems so uneducated. Before the 25th century BC, in that era, even civilizations that reached the national level would definitely be bloody and barbaric. An uncivilized barbaric age, both in the East and the West."
"Even if a king is not strong enough or barbaric enough, he cannot control a group of ancient people who are definitely barbaric in the eyes of modern people. Therefore, as a king, he seems uneducated. It's understandable."
Thinking about the records in the Gilgamesh epic about Gilgamesh's various cruelties and barbarism, as well as his hand-to-hand combat with the Divine Beast, he felt that he could understand how Gilgamesh's bad character came about.
Of course, the direction he wants to go is very different from the actual situation.

Artoria suddenly nodded: "He is indeed an ancient king, and this kind of king already existed before 2,000 BC. He is truly great. Even a Demi-God like that can be summoned in the Holy Grail War.? Or is his identity as a human actually wrong?
Lux smiled and said: "There is no doubt that Gilgamesh is indeed a Demi-God. Moreover, Lia, most of the gods in myths and stories really exist."
Artoria turned to him in surprise: "Lux knows these things?"
Lux hummed: "Because I am the observer and connector of Counter Force, so I know many secrets. Now, let's see the impact first! There are some things I can't answer better until you see them."
Hearing this, Artoria nodded. She fully trusts Lux and immediately turned back to continue watching.
However, at this moment, a new situation appeared.

After Gilgamesh listened to Li Shuwen's answer, his expression suddenly became firm again, and his anger reappeared: "How dare you! How dare you call a king by his first name! Li Shuwen, don't take my mercy as the basis of your arrogance! Your sin is enough for me to give you the death penalty!"
Li Shuwen chuckled: "I have explained that we Chinese people have treated guests politely since ancient times. Treat good guests with kindness and treat bad guests with evil."
"So, King of Uruk, can you take back your previous words? In this way, I will also take back my rudeness to you – So, King of Uruk, what is your answer?"
At the end of the sentence, the old man who looked to be seventy years old stopped smiling, and his eyes became very cold, like piercing cold light, with murderous intent.
This is the extremely powerful oppressive force of a martial arts master.
What Li Shuwen showed is the martial spirit as a founding warrior and a great martial arts master.
Gilgamesh was also very annoyed by Li Shuwen's many 'provocations', and his voice became very cold: "You are very bold! Mongrel! You treat the king's gift as a joke and offend the king's majesty again and again! Only death, with that, can you erase your sins! Fools have no right to live in this world!"
When he uttered the last words, his voice suddenly rose, and his expression became ferocious because of anger at this moment.
While saying this, the space to his left and right behind him changed. Under the influence of magic, golden ripples appeared like water, and beautiful swords and beautiful spears slowly emerged from the golden ripples.
These two weapons are undoubtedly Noble Phantasms!
The next moment, the camera switched and arrived at a luxurious house.
What appeared was a study filled with a simple atmosphere, and Tokiomi was sitting in the main chair of the study, facing the window, holding a glass of red wine in his right hand, and placing his left hand on his head tilted, a BOSS-like smile on his lips, and his legs crossed, he seemed to be enjoying the moment, mysteriously and elegantly.
The camera moved to the chair next to him. Kirei was sitting here with his eyes closed. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Tokiomi: "Sensei, Assassin and Archer are having a conflict. Do you want to stop them?"
Hearing this, Tokiomi's posture and expression didn't change. He just gently shook the wine glass so that the red wine swayed slowly inside, and said his answer: "No need, Kirei, I told you before, victory is already in our hands, no matter how the process goes, since both Servants want to fight, let them fight."
Kirei: "But in terms of combat effectiveness, Assassin is far inferior to Archer in terms of panel attributes and Noble Phantasms. Does it matter?"
Tokiomi took a sip of red wine and said slowly: "Kirei, you have to trust your Servant more. Don't forget what country this land comes from and what people here believe in. Assassin here has the full effect of local blessings, and his power is more than double that of other places."
"Even if Assassin, who is the least good at frontal combat, is summoned, he can't be easily defeated by a king who is so arrogant that he is unwilling to show half of his true strength. If he doesn't do it right, he might lose."
Kirei was silent: "…"
Tokiomi looked out the window: "Kirei, don't you understand?"
Kirei: "Please tell me, Sensei."
Tokiomi: "That king is too arrogant, so arrogant that it has little impact on my plan. Although it's just trivial, for me, letting that king feel defeated and knowing that he is invincible is the most important thing. A good result."
Kirei was silent for a while, then nodded: "I understand, I will use the Command Spell to help Assassin if necessary."
Tokiomi smiled and said nothing more. He closed his eyes and took a slow sip, savoring the wine in the glass. He seemed indifferent to what was happening at the harbor. He was elegant and calm, showing the mysterious demeanor of a big boss.
