I have been doing a lot of research on the christian bible. I find it interesting that the oldest records of genesis 1-11 are from Judean sources after Nebuchadnezzar II conquered Judea and exiled the Judean king, his priests, and many other Judeans to Babylon where they were greeted by this ziggurat that reached 'the heavens' built by people who spoke languages from all around the world. They would have encountered the Babylonian Chaoskampf which was inscribed on seven tablets, describing creation of the earth. Not unlike the seven days of creation in Genesis! Incredible coincidence haha!
