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 temples 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.
The 21st century BC being some 1600 years before there was any group recognizable as "jews" and 18-1900 years before anyone ( mainly some Greek ) bothered to write their silly shit down.
Oh well, I'm sure Huggy or one of the other assholes will be along to tell us all about their fucking bible now!
You do realize Babel along with Sumer are Mesopotamian cities don't you? Mesopotamia is where the biblical story took place.
What you've found is a corroborating source, good job.
