In the Indus Valley in Search of Mcluhha

       Gilgamesh! The legendary King of Uruk, who sailed to Dilmun to
       visit the land of his earliest progenitors. The fame of the Gilgamesh
       myth had spread beyond Bahrain and had reached the Indus.
         To me there was no longer any doubt. I agreed with those
       scholars who identified the Indus region with Mcluhha. Mcluhha
       could be nothing else. Dilmun, Makan and Meluhha belonged
       together. With our ma-gur we had visited all three. And we were
       ready to embark on further adventures.
