I think I can make a pretty good argument that Abram, despite his Semitic name, and his followers, were pretty much descendants of the ancient Sumerians.

In fact, the earliest parts of the Bible contains stories those very same Sumerians would have known about.

Ah, but these weren't the Sumerians. They were the Jews.

Jews.

And the Sumerians, and all other peoples before them lie in the dust, but for ethical monotheism.
