The Sumerian king list says, "after the flood swept thereover" kingship was
restored at Kish Twenty-three kings ruled there until, "Kish was smitten with
weapons; its kingship to E-Anna(k) was carried." In The Makers of
Civilization, Waddell translated E-Anna(k) directly as "Enoch," reckoning it as the
Sumerian equivalent for Enoch, the city built by Cain.
I have Waddell's Egyptian Civilization It's Sumerian Origin and Real
Chronology - I asked John V. Day, Author of Indo-European Origins, the
Anthropological Evidence if Waddell's work was still reliable and he told me the
chronologies in the king lists were suspect. I am also perplexed the Oxford
companion to archeology would mention 2900 B.C. in reference to Uruk without
mentioning a flood, although perhaps Kish was flooded and Uruk was not?
