Summary
| Description |
English: A 5th- or 6th-century knotted wool carpet discovered at Sampul, Lop, Sinkiang believed to be depicting a a part of the Story of Gilgamesh. Historically, Sinkiang was a part of the Kingdom of Khotan which was founded by the Scythians/Saka. It is possible that the Story of Gilgamesh transferred down through the Scythian people. Duan Qing at Peking University identifies the depiction as relating to Gilgamesh (Across-Regional and Local Characteristics of Mythologies: On the Basis of Observing the Lop Museum Carpets). One other theory proposed by Zhang He is that they may depict Krishna instead (Krsna Iconography in Khotan Carpets: Spread of Hindu Religious Ideas in Xinjiang, China, Fourth–Seventh Centuries CE).
中文（繁體）：2007年出土於新疆洛浦縣山普魯鄕的洛浦2號氍毹，根據段晴的研究理論，該毯織入的是一個美索不達米亞神話敍事，講述吉爾伽美什下地獄遍求諸神，最後在伊南娜的幫助下讓好友恩奇杜起死復生的故事。其中蘊含有蘇美和古希臘的神話內容，展現了不同文明在古代世界的傳播軌跡以及神話的跨域性，其在流傳至他國後與當地文化的融合流變（《神話的跨域性與地方性》）。另有一理論則認為氍毹上的圖像描繪的是印度敎神祇克里須那的故事。 |
