"Upanishads"? Interesting! Thank you for mentioning. I am currently reading Gilgamesh and there is "Uta-napišti" meaning "the far away". The Sanskrit term Upaniṣad (upa = by, ni = nether, shat =sitting) translates to "sitting down near". In Gilgamesh epos, he (Gilgamesh) travels to seek wisdom from Uta-napišti. Now I am curious if there may be a relation of the two.. I wouldn't be surprised.
