I think the author is a bit short on conventional history.
Most everything we have is straight out of Sumer.
We are even told in the Epic of Gilgamesh that the god An/On "lowered kingship to earth".
Even the universal tool the Mattock seems to have come from Sumer. And the Sumerian records state that the gods gave the tool to them.
So it is in all the earliest peoples, as far as I have read. No of them claim to have invented anything. Gods came from the sky or across the seas and taught them everything.
Many peoples say the gods interbred with humans therefore biologically the gods and men were the same species.

Do you note that if the god On put a crown on a stick to lower it to earth then he would fit right into Chapter
Along with his right hand man Baal who had an uplifted eye above his house searching all the lands

Did I forget the offside Ea who used a fish-headed annedotus (mitre is stylised fish head) to clean out the mouth of the Euphrates for commercial traffic?
Gosh, are we commemorating a commercial expedition to the Middle East?

Well, the Sumerian beginning was certainly an expedition to the middle east by On and his cronies. Whether it was commercial or not is a matter for conjecture.
If we are commerorating a commercial expedition then I guess we are barking up the wrong tree of knowledge.

Well I expect that the commercial expedition had some ethical partners and perhaps they tried to teach some principles to their off-spring - perhaps including the sons of the widow Isis.
