What was the Mesopotamian ideal of kingship

1.) The Mesopotamian ideal of kingship is looked down upon. The kings treated the commoners & peasants so poorly during this time. 2.) That the afterlife isn’t so great. Gilgamesh goes out to find morality but it turns out it is tragic. "There is the house whose people sit in darkness; dust is their food and clay their meat." That doesn’t sound like much fun. That states that even in the afterlife you can be miserable. 3.) The philosophy of life that comes from the Gilgamesh Story is that, you should appreciate what you have in the life you live, and not try to find it somewhere else. (Or in a power beyond you.) 4.) The epic portrays the gods as awful people, they don’t have a great relationship with people, and they treat them poorly.
