So you when to hell now what.

That's why I said, you're mixing fact with fiction, since obviously the Middle Eastern and Mediterranian cultures influenced each other. But that isn't true for China and Asia, nor is it true for the Americas, nor for Northern Europe.

Just asserting that there had to have been polytheism before the Mesopotamian era we are currently discussing isn't helping, Name some of these religions.

I've made my case for how norse mythology has it's roots in the ancient Babylonian religion as you originally asked.

And the Edda teaches us something different.

Unfettered will fare the Fenris Wolf
and ravaged the realm of men,
ere that cometh a kingly prince
as good, to stand in his stead.

So what's your point, since both are tales of the gods.

Do you disagree with my assessment? and why?
