Just wanted to post something which will show one reason why the stories of Genesis seem similar to that of the ancient Sumerians .
The link that I post is to a site where some one asks , What is the country of origin for Judaism? The answer given , The forefather of Judaism -
Abraham - was born in Ur in Mesopotamia . The reply then goes on to speak of Abraham 12 sons going to the land of Canaan , Israel .

Seeing where Abraham Originates from and the stories he would have herd and culture he would have grown up in , not to mention the things he would
have seen its actually not very difficult at all to see why the stories are similar indeed , as Abraham was a Sumerian .
Here is one more link to a site that makes the claim that not only is Abraham a Sumerian , he is also of royal Sumerian blood .

Its a interesting read .
the link doesn't to be working it should be .
en.wikipedia.org...(mythology) copy and past all but the . before the address .
