Borrowing

Many Ancient Astronaut Theorists proclaim that Hebrew ideas about God or the Gods are just borrowed accounts from Sumerian Cosmology. This is held as factual in popular media; even though scholarship in the field disagrees with this "cut and dry" idea- not to mention that the ancient Hebrew text is NOT monotheistic as defined by this same media. Nevertheless let's briefly play with this idea of "borrowing". Ancient Astronaut Theorists use the Indian Veda texts as an amusement park for their literature. In the Vedas, Vemanas are flying temples and the Nagas (serpent gods) are observed in flying cars. Indra is the supreme god in the Vedas. He is a "cloud-rider" god who is known to have cast the AHI Serpent God "prostrate to the ground" . Back to what scholarship knows about the ancient near eastern cosmology- the cloud-rider -supreme god motif was common-place -BEFORE the Vedas. In fact scholars know that the so called "borrowing" by the Hebrew was simply Yahweh identifying himself as THE cloud-rider; (He confirms that He is Real in a verifiable historical context- the life of Jesus Christ- Jesus identifies himself as "riding the clouds " before the Priest Caiaphas). Yahweh also casts a Serpent deity "prostrate to the ground" BEFORE the Vedas account in Genesis 3 and Ezekial 28. The question for Ancient Astronaut Theorists' "borrowing" idea- are the Vedas just borrowed from the Hebrew?- and by extension- does the Vedas borrowing delegitimize Buddhism and Hinduism, both of which are connected to Indra?
