Language, History and Accuracy

 

    One big problem is that we do not know how much time passed from creation to the invention of Sumerian cuneiform writing. The creation of a written language is reflective of the worldview that created it. How far did men deviate from their view of God at the time of Adam to the religion of ancient Mesopotamia?

Did men not write prior to the Sumerians? Or has it simply been lost?

    History, prior to the time of the Sumerians, was like a giant telephone game. Historical and religious stories were passed down from generation to generation with the inevitable errors being introduced. With the arrival of Moses into the Egyptian empire and his writing of the first five books of the Old Testament came the key for interpreting and filtering known history. The stories that were told were eventually written down but Moses with access to the libraries of Egypt corrected historic-religious history.
