I assume it is Bible and the Ancient Near East rather than the whole history
of the ANE which interests you. I have not seen a site or post that covers
all the connections, the most important of which seem to be in Gen 1-11.
But, Gordon Wenham's Genesis 1-15 as well as John Walton's NIV Application
Commentary on Genesis do a better job than most of relating the two within
an Evangelical perspective. The most important raw materials, which cover
much more than Genesis, are found in James Pritchard's Ancient Near Eastern
Texts relating to the Old Testament. A good guide is Ancient Israelite
Literature in its Cultural Context by John H. Walton. I would not recommend
trying to read Pritchard without having Walton by my side.
