Similarities in Baylon Sumerian and Jain Cosmology (Nebu & Adinath Tirthankar)

Adinath (Rishab deva) is first tirthankara’s of Jains. He is refered in Riga Vedas (~1500BC) Aryan Hindu Vedas. One could derive hints of Adinath’s father in Sumerian/ Bablyon’s texts that is dated 3150BCE-2686BCE. There are several similarities that could be established in Babylon gods & goddesses to Jain Cosmology as well. Its important to note that Sumerian inscriptions may reflect that he was worshiped in 3150BCE, validating that Adinath (Rishab deva) was born much long ago in ancient times.

Nabhi was father of first tirthankar Adinath. Mother name was marudevi. Adinath set the foundation of Ikshvaku vansh in India

Nabu was son of Marduk, was oracle, taught writing,
God Nabu/ Nabi arrived to that region, created humans in a lab
Nabhi was not human, at end of 3rd kala, his son Adinath Bhagwan was first human
Concepts of “wish” kalpavriksha

The table above parallels, Vedic culture (Hindus) gods and Sumerian gods were mapped in 1930 by Waddle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waddell%27s_chronology
Its believed that Rishabha was worshipped as Bull god in some countries. Rishabha was called in different names like Reshef, Apollo, Tesheb, Ball, and the Bull God of the Mediterranean people. A bronze image of Reshef (Rishabha) of the 12th century B.C. was discovered at Alasia near Enkomi in Cyprus.
These theories must have been made after discovery of Harappan civilization, but the theories of Vedas as ancient religion of india are disproved completely with discoveries of Mehrgarh which dates 7500BCE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehrgarh and Sumerian civilization dates 3300BCE were based on written tablets found in the Mesopotamia. In next 20+ years, better mapping of ancient history needs to be re-written based on 6 different civilizations discovered so far. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cradle_of_civilization

Pythagorus attended Samosaran of Mahaveera

Pythagoras of Samos (c. 570 – c. 495 BC) was an Ionian Greek philosopher and the eponymous founder of the Pythagoreanism movement. His political and religious teachings were well known in Magna Graecia and influenced the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and, through them, Western philosophy. He is believed to have traveled  to India (approx 550 BC) to attend Jain Tirthankar Mahaveer's Samosaran ( Samavasaran)  at the banks of River  Rijuvaluka (ancient river)  near town of Pawapuri.  Pythagorus was vegetarian,  he believed in ahimsa, reincarnation, talked about his previous lives, believed in Soul that can be purified through penance. Its believed that he received this knowledge from  omniscient Lord Mahaveer. During 325BC, when Alexandar came to india, one of Jain Muni Kolonos (Kalyan Muni) went to Greece with him. There are statues of Kolonos in Greece. references: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pawapuri http://jainmuseum.com/histor...
