Four thousand years ago, Gilgamesh and his tribe discovered the Enigma of Combination. The effects of the Enigma "combined" their thoughts and ideas, allowing the group to work together and found Uruk, Earth's first city. Gilgamesh raised a wall of black rock around the city to protect the alien artifact. He would eventually pass on the Enigma to his descendants, who eventually took the surname "Blackrock". By the 21st century, Garrison Blackrock had inherited the Enigma. ONoffON

Spacewarp's long journey home from a Xobitor reality included an encounter with the cybernetically-enhanced clone of Gilgamesh. Spacewarp's Log, 24/1/2016
Notes
- Uruk is not the oldest city in the world by a comfortable margin, with Jericho showing signs of uninterrupted inhabition to as far back as 9000 BCE, and the temple at Göbekli Tepe - where people certainly 'got their minds together' - being even older. Maybe the Enigma passed from tribe to tribe; it wouldn't be the first time history was rewritten by the last survivor.
