I have looked for alternative explainations for what has been
heretofore accepted as absolute truth.
I became addicted, as it were, to the translations of ancient Sumerian cuneiform tablets. Specifically The Enuma Elish, The Epic of Giglamesh, and The Lost Book of Enki.
The text was inscribed on clay tablets and so preserved for thousands of years. Now I have a question. Legend has it that Moses received the ten commandments on Mt. Sinai. They were carved on tablets by the finger of God. Is it possible that this was the same methodology used by the Sumerians and written in cuneiform?
Now there is a thought question for you!

It might provide you with an alternative to your current knowledge
Anyway it was just a thought not a declaration of war

I am not aware of any similar myth from Mesopotamia.

I do find the descent of Ishtar into the netherworld interesting in that some versions have her crucified then descend only to raise up again.
