The myth in the clay Sumerian Tablets, which have been found and used for the Sumerian translations, were only written later based on: 1. what had happened earlier, 2. the instructions given, by Enki, earlier on, 3. the earlier writings that were written on Lapis lazuli. From the words of the Attestation of the scribe Endubsar, as quoted below, the Sumerian myth and Attestation were written on Lapis lazuli.

Sumerians created an advanced civilization with its own system of elaborate language and writing, architecture and arts, astronomy and mathematics. Their religious system was a complex one comprised of hundreds of gods.

Ancient India - Ancient Civilizations for Kids. 50 or 60 million years ago India slowly smashed into Asia and formed the Himalaya and Hindu Kush Mountains that nearly block off India from the surrounding area.
Except for the coast, there are only a few narrow passes through the mountains such as the Khyber Pass that have allowed people to enter this land. The other main physical features are the Indus River in modern day Pakistan and the Ganges River in modern day India. The Indus River is in a very dry area called the Thar Desert--this Arid climate is the site for another of the world's first human civilizations.
