Yes, sorry, I slipped into using the institutional "you" for a moment and should have said "someone", and "good for them", not "you".

I realize you are allowing the possibility of an earlier provenance for G1 than is taught by the orthodox timeline and that you've introduced the possibility of Mesopotamian influence perhaps back as far as 5k-ish BC (IIRC). The fact that we both agree that 2550 BC is perhaps a bit too recent but disagree on the actual earlier date is why I found it curious that you said we were "world's apart". I actually feel like we're getting closer every day. But alas, perhaps that too may change...
