Sumerian Connection

[G2aDude]

According to these samples, G2a there from near the Gobekli Tepe area to Catalhoyuk and most early cities, to the Uruk/Ubaid. Additionally we were found in the Kura-Araxes.

What is the likelihood that the pre-Semitic Sumerians were an ethnolinguistic isolate G2a culture originating in the Caucasus?

Yes thank you, friend.

I would like to bump this thread.

The only other potential candidates for the creators of Gobekli Tepe are Haplogroup T.

The mtDNA of the Middle East prior to Semitization was largely X and K both of which are found with G2a elsewhere. Druze females are known to harbor a metric ton of X.

It seems there is no other viable candidate for the pre-Semitic Sumerians.

Additionally, the language of suspected G2a areas is often thrown into the Dene-Caucasian category with other outliers like Minoan, Basque, and Etruscan all of which are decent candidates for Neolithic DNA preservation into the Iron Age.

(Sumerian Creation Myth - Kur (foreign mountain), and the concept of the ziggurat (holy mountain) being the bulwark against god induced floods. We see a similar motif with the Old Kingdom Egyptians. Zisudra (Sumerian Noah) survives the flood and then descends from a mountain in Kurdistan to Mesopotamia and founds the first cities with the help of the gods.

What is the possibility that G2a created Gobekli Tepe and invented agriculture and then spread to the Caucasus Mountains before getting cut off by other haplogroups only to descend from the Caucasus Mountains to Mesoptamia after a bottleneck event, encountering indigenous J1 Marsh Arabs and nomadic J2 tribes, to create the first Sumerian civilizations (as per their own myth)?
