== == Most of ancient theology is lost under the sands of time. However, archaeological expeditions in ancient Mesopotamia have uncovered the fascinating culture of the Sumerians, which flourished over 4,000 years ago. Though Sumeria was overthrown first by Assyria, and then by Babylon, its gods lived on in the cultures of those who conquered. The historian S. H. Hooke tells in detail of the ancient Sumerian trinity: Anu was the primary god of heaven, the 'Father', and the 'King of the Gods'; Enlil, the 'wind-god' was the god of the earth, and a creator god; and Enki was the god of waters and the 'lord of wisdom' (15-18). The historian, H. W. F. Saggs, explains that the Babylonian triad consisted of 'three gods of roughly equal rank... whose inter-relationship is of the essence of their natures' (316). see link "The Origin of the Trinity" on left
There are probably hundreds if not thousands of similar features between various religious expressions down through the centuries. Many similar conclusions have been drawn about other aspects of the Christian faith, and probably always will be. What matters is whether the connection is a real one or just coincidental, or whether it can also be conclusively shown which came first.
Undoubtedly there are similarities as outlined above, but another explanation which some would give is simply that the Sumerians were copying the more ancient religion as expressed in The Bible which, even though some of the details were different such as three gods and not one God had essentially its origin in Monotheism which was then corrupted.
