Try to imagine some Judahite dragged off to Babylon from the minor little shithole that was Jerusalem in the 6th century and he sees the grand palaces and ziggurats while he is still trying to get the dog shit out from between his toes. Don't you think they would be amazed by the wonders they observed?

Quote:Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta is a legendary Sumerian account, of preserved, early post-Sumerian copies, composed in the Neo-Sumerian period (ca. 21st century BC). It is one of a series of accounts describing the conflicts between Enmerkar, king of Unug-Kulaba (Uruk), and the unnamed king of Aratta (probably somewhere in modern Iran or Armenia).
Because it gives a Sumerian account of the "confusion of tongues", and also involves Enmerkar constructing ziggurats at Eridu and Uruk, it has, since the time of Samuel Kramer,[1] been compared with the Tower of Babel narrative in the Book of Genesis.
