I don't know of any offhand, maybe we should think about doing that and posting it here somewhere as a reference
i do know that the Peruvian Norte Chico culture was contemporary with the latter end of Sumer
en.wikipedia.org...
not many people have heard of that though, an easy way to tell is to see if anyone has connected aliens with it yet

How true! Yes, how long before the fringe works them into the fold of fringedom?
Perhaps we should offer a prize for the first to do so.
What I find most interesting about these people is there lack of ceramics, one wonders how they moved/stored/cooked food.

Anu is written like this

Dingir is written like this
I see that symbol as close to the one called the Chi Ro used by catholics in many pictorials which also resembles that for the Peacock Angel, Melek
Taus.
It is also interesting how close the word Anuna is to Inanna.
Some have indicated that Gilgimesh means English, but I haven't understood that relationship yet.

carvings show the "Gods" carrying buckets (of water?)

Well, ceramic pots are durable, but they're also very heavy. It's much easier to move and store food in lightweight woven baskets or animal skins,
if you have those things available to you. And you can always cook on a rock or a stick.
I sometimes wonder about how a relatively advanced culture would be interpreted if they didn't leave behind many stone or clay artifacts. The middle
Eastern cultures get a lot of credit for their advancement in antiquity, but a lot of that has to do with the fact that their stuff just happens to
last longer than stuff from cultures in wetter climates.

were amazingly advanced. Their scroll cylinders were like a printing press.

The story is most likely some metaphoric / astro theology text describing an astrological event taking place at the time it in which it was written .
Very cool link you posted MR. OP'er !!
