Ancient Origins and Divine Influences
đșThe Sumerians, known as the "black-headed people," attributed their weapons, tools, and inventions to gods named Anu, Enlil, and Enki.
đAccording to Sumerian records, humans were created at Nippur as male and female, commanded to multiply and work the earth, paralleling the Genesis creation story.
Catastrophic Events and Supernatural Beings
đBoth Sumerian legends and the Bible describe a great flood that destroyed the antediluvian world due to widespread evil, including murder, rituals, and human sacrifice.
đŒThe Sumerians referred to supernatural beings as "gods," while other cultures called them "watchers," "shining ones," or "Nephilim," believed to be fallen angels or demigods.
Cultural Parallels
đThe flood narrative appears in multiple ancient texts, including the Epic of Gilgamesh, Atrahasis Epic, and Sumerian king list, suggesting a common cultural memory of a catastrophic event.
