According to wikipedia, Gilgamesh was the fifth king of Uruk, ruling around 2700 BC.

Methos is said to be 5,000 years old (although I do wonder how long he's been said to be that old since people are more likely to use a round number than say 49 centuries or 51 centuries.) Thus, he would have been mortal around 3000 BC.

However, the watchers say they have a record of Methos' first quickening. This may be false and Methos took plenty of heads before then; it could be true and Methos had lived for several centuries before taking a head; it could be true and the watchers are older than they think or Gilgamesh is older or Methos is younger.

The history of the Watchers as an extremely early international organization would definitely be interesting. The discipline against misusing the chronicles would have to be extremely strict because they'd have both watchers and immortals on opposing sides of wars, social clashes, etc.

The more I think about it, the less possible the Watchers seem to me. Which is, of course, a challenge to see how to make them realistically work. At the moment, though, I'm drawing a blank.
