      IIRC Gobleki Teppi is an example of temple building preceding the invention of agriculture.

        Kramer didn't use the word "apemen", that comes from the Zulu origin myth. Kramer called it a "creature" roaming Enki's Abzu, or southern lands. This was what the "gods" used to begin the process of creating a primitive worker. I think Sitchin pointed out the relationship between worship and workship in hebrew and how Genesis refers to a time when there was no Adam to till the land. As for Perfie's BS, that myth comes from Kramer, not Sitchin. Try to be logical when insulting people

                My opinion of him hasn't changed (may he rip), I'm continually amazed to see new evidence support his theory

                but the myth you and Al B need to see appears in a book compiled by Samuel Noah Kramer from 1961 ("Mythologies of the Ancient World") - in the section on the Sumerians by Kramer there appears a tale (fragment) about the origins of man and it claims the gods combined their own blood with an already existing creature roaming the southern lands where Enki lived. This began a long process during which peoples were "improved" and eventually granted kingship and civilization. That was not Sitchin's invention...
