Think it will matter? My guess is that this will be like me showing Sitchin followers the Sumerian tablets. Who cares about the primary sources when you want to believe a myth?

Just like the bible mis-interpreters:
“Blessed are the cheesemakers”
“What’s so special about the cheemakers?”
“It’s not meant to be taken literally. It could refer to any manufacturers of dairy products”

Would you say it is accurate that most ancient cultures had a more cyclic view of time rather than a linear view of time?
Rather than seeing time in terms of progressing from a definite beginning point to a definite ending point as many today tend to, they saw it more in ever repeating cycles. The cycle of the day, the cycle of the month, the cycle of the year, and extrapolating that out into cycles of ages etc?
I’d say both. The fact that they had calendars and recorded events as history says linear; but the idea that life goes through cycles was also prominent (and one reason they had more than one type of calendar).
