I will stop the annihilation of my creatures, and I will return the people from their dwelling grounds. Let them build many cities so that I can refresh myself in their shade. Let them lay the bricks of many cities in pure places, let them establish places of divination in pure places, and when the fire-quenching…is arranged, the divine rites and exalted powers are perfected and the earth is irrigated, I will establish well-being there.
After An, Enlil, Enki, and Ninhursag had fashioned the black-headed people, they also made animals multiply everywhere, and made herds of four-legged animals exist on the plains, as is befitting.

The Sumerian texts date back to around 3100 BCE, making them some of the oldest known written records in human history. The earliest known writing attributed to Homer, which includes works like the Iliad and the Odyssey, is estimated to have been composed around the 8th century BCE, which puts it roughly 2300 years after the Sumerian texts.
The oldest parts of the Bible, specifically the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament, are thought to have been written down starting around the 6th century BCE, with oral traditions that likely date back further.
So, there's approximately a gap of about 1500 to 2500 years between the Sumerian texts and the earliest known writings of Homer,
and about 2500 to 3100 years between the Sumerian texts and the oldest parts of the Bible.
