looks like the Canaanite takes up right where the Sumerian leaves off.

Looks like Inca mythology begins right where Aztec mythology ends

Most religions piggyback off earlier religions from the same regions.

The links you have provided are clearly crossed. Aztec religious mythology has nothing whatsoever to do with Sumerian religious mythology. Try again.

Their god ba`al was the deity of fertility and agriculture and rain and thunder , this deity which even the Israelites did worship in the high place and where judged by God and were driven off the land into Babylon ...... I have heard that this ba`al was like five bales of hay which people worship to have prosperity in the harvest of wheat and straw and rain for life for agriculture and fertilities for live ...... But this was Not the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob , and when people turned to these gods of jebusites of salam and Canaanites, then The true living God did not like it at all , and spoke against it through prophecy

I don't usually post you a response, but that was a quite informative post.

Greek mythology also starts over at the same point but it just retells the old myths in a different order

Ever notice that the writers of Genesis never use Yahweh? Some smart scribe picked up on this and thus wrote, as if to cover the earlier writers' tracks, Exodus 6:3

And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

So God is a little shy about revealing his name to the patriarchs but seems to lose his shyness by the time Moses rolls around. Either that or he has multiple personality disorder. Interesting.

Yahweh is found in many parts of Genesis in the Yahwist Source (J). It is the Priestly (P) and Elohistic (E) Sources that do not use the name "Yahweh" until Exodus. Those sources use various "El"s or "Elohim".

So it really depends on what source you read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jahwist
