If you read the ancient Sumerian and Hindu texts, you will find references to events which were ancient when those texts were written.
Sumerian text pre-dates Biblical events by thousands of years.
Who were they talking about?

If the Sumerian text describes prior events which contradict the Bible, then one of them is wrong, and it would be invalid to try to use one to augment the other in the context of the contradiction. However, if one is to attempt this, one should have at least contextual-valid passages from the book being augmented (in this case the Bible) that would agree with the other book (Sumerian text in this case). However, the passages you have provided so far have been out of context, or the translation assumed upon the validity of the conclusion (which you did with the argument you gave in the earth was without form. Your interpretation could only be valid if the conclusion that there was something before Genesis 1:1 was valid). This is Circular Reasoning, and not a good method of argumentation to rely on.
