I am aware that Yima Kshaeta in Zoroastrian literature, Romulus and Remus in Roman literature, and Yimir in Norse literature are variations of the same figure, but was Gilgamesh a variation of this figure too?
-Gilgamesh lived in ancient Uruk or Iraq / Zahak (Av. Azi Dahaka) slays Jamshid (Av. Yima Kshaeta); Zahak is associated with the people of Iraq
-Gilgamesh built the walled city of Uruk / Yima built a Var or enclosure
-Enkidu was Gilgamesh's second self/ the word Yima may be cognate to the word gemini as in "twin"
-Gilgamesh travelled to meet Utnapishtim, survivor of the great flood / Yima built a Var to shelter the life from an ice age
-Enkidu loses his innocence and dies / Jamshid loses his glory and dies
-Gilgamesh searches for a plant that will make him immortal / Jamshid is associated with a cup that is filled with an elixir of immortality
