Adam and Eve were created in Iraq, Abaraham was from Iraq in the City of Ur which means that the Adnani Arabs, Moses, Jesus, Joseph, David, Jesus, Virgin Mary, Prophet Muhammed were all originally from IRAQ

its a shame that nowadays many in the west are ignorant to the role of iraq in the history of civilization.

most of our religious history comes from the sumerian tablets. the stories told on the tablets are repeated in the bible and the koran, the stories have been moved around interpeted, and translated into different languages. "if first we see through a window, we must open it and explore the world of which we wish to understand."

TruthSeeker115: What you are saying is true but that won't help you in putting down the religion, since 5000 before Sumerians people had religion but writing was not invented yet so that they could pass their message to our generation. What is left from Sumerians is their tablets in which many of the stories are comparable with bible and quran, so they could have got those stories from their ancestors.

Two film errors: (1) Hammurabi is standing in front of a seated Shamash (the sun god) on the Hanmmurabi Law Stele; (2) Nineveh is too far north on the provided map.
