According to the Sumerian texts, the gods taught us the ways of the world. Buy not initially.
It is clear to see the Sumerians had that knowledge of the solar system, the proportionate size of the planets and creation story started with them. As well as the flood story.
It took a bunch of misguided Hebrews scribes who were in exile in Babylon to absorb those Sumerian writings and re-write historical records in a way that fit with their view of why god had forsaken them to change history as we know it.
Knowledge suppressed if it does not fit their mold.
Want a little proof...
a eye for a eye and a tooth for a tooth was not a original writing of the bible. It was found in Babylon as part of Hammurabi's moral code later found and decoded in modern times from several stele's.
