Much to the dismay of many adherents to Hebrew and Jewish history, who tend to frame all knowledge and history as belonging to them, Abram's father,
Terah, was a priest of the gods of Ur. Someone left this fact out in a previous post and only mentioned that Abram was raised in the house of Noah.
Terah was a worshipper of Marduk, the celestial warrior god, Mars. .......... Terah came from a long line of Oracle priests and the first
disciples of the Zodiacian secret mysteries.
The priestly dynasty passed down through the daughter of Ur, called On, who was the mother of Nahor, the grandfather of Abram. The traditions were
then passed on to Terah and Abram. While Abram was secreted away from the deadly grasp of Nimrod, he learned the art of writing and the mysteries and
secrets of the heavens from his father. The oracular mysteries were confined within the dynasty of his family.

Abram, being the son of a Sumerian Priest in Ur was likely well schooled in the religion of Sumer/Sumeria which eventually became Babylon and
Akkadia. Abram/Abraham likely carried many of the Sumerian religious concepts with him. History shows that Abraham is the father of the Abramic
faiths namely Judaism, Islam and Christianity which all echo the Sumerian stories.
The oldest of the Sumerian/Akkadian clay tablets, many found in Nineveh, date back to 3500BCE (some say 2500BCE) predating anything
Hebrew/Heburu/Jewish by well over a 1000-1500 years . They include the Epoch of Gilgamesh (flood story), Creation story and the creation of man by
the Annanaki gods.
Furthermore, during the Babylonian captivity of the Hebrews/Jews they were well exposed to the same Sumerian/Babylonian "myths" which they carried
with them out of captivity.
Monotheism was added much later - not until the eighth century BC and afterward did the writers strengthen the monotheistic doctrine by constantly
reminding Israel of the vast gulf that separated the Lord from pagan idols and the so called gods that they represented (Hos. 4:12; Isa. 2:8, 20;
17:8; 31:7; Jer. 10:5,10). After Jerusalem was destroyed in 586 BC the people of Judah abandoned idolatry once and for all. The polytheism of Babylon
was revolting to the exiles and helped to make the Jews a truly monotheistic people.
