Added to that are reports of a little known group of nomads who were un-cooth looking but when they got to Eqypt they impressed the teachers in Egypt with all the knowledge they knew, especally about math and so on. Some feel it was those romads who built Stonehenge. The Bible mentioned in one tiny verse about such a great leader (forgot name,,, started with M) and when the Jewish people saw him they gave him all the spoils of war that they had just attained. Out of respect. Who was that guy and what was his tribe... little is known. And the biblical Gaints who lived on the earth and married some of the girls in the then hebrew tribe. Again, only a small passage devoted to that race. In Hebrew the word from which we translated gaints means in fact "those who can touch the sky". Could that mean they could fly or that they were tall people?

If the people who built the pyramids might have come from the same culture who built stonehenge, it would be interesting if these 'gaints' were actually nomads in Egypt who married hebrew and were said to 'touch the sky' because of their knowledge and ability to build gigantic structures. Ha, I'm reaching waaaay far, but I'm just speculating.
Anyway, this is all getting very complicated, and it seems like there are probably more influences to Judaism than I would have thought. Maybe there is some way to trace the trade routes around Africa, Europe, and Asia that could indicate what cultures the Egypt/Middle-East area might have come into contact with.
And Sumer does seem to play a major part. I wonder if it is also possible to trace the origins of the Sumer religion, although that could be difficult considering Mesopotamia is the first documented civilization.
I have lots to do now
