Gilgamesh and Enkidu decide that they want to kill Humbaba. Humbaba is the protector of the cedar forests. Enkidu is scared of the thought of going into the forest and killing Humbaba. Gilgamesh thinks that once they kill him it will prove that he isn't powerful and scary. Gilgamesh and Enkidu go to the Urku elders and ask if they should kill Humbaba and they decided that they should.
Ninsun prays to Shamash: the sun god. So that they will be proctected while they are going to kill humbaba.
Once they go into the forest Gilgamesh hits a tree to make Humbaba appear and be upset with them he hits Enkidu and he becomes hurt. Humbaha falls and Gilgamesh hits his neck with his axe and he is dead.
Ishtar comes the next morning and wants Gilgamesh to marry her and he denied her because of her past lovers. then she tells Anu and then sends the bull of heavon and kills three hundred men.
