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.

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
Sumerian goddess of writing and accounts, Nisaba (also known as Nidaba, Nissaba), who is attested to in the Early DynasticPeriod (3150-2686 BCE).

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
