I thought I had a new theory going but thank god I found someone who supprts these claims

Not quite.
Check out Zacharia Sitchin's, The 12th Planet. There are only a handful of people on Earth who can translate Sumerian cuneiform, he is one of them. He has a whole series of books concerning exactly what you are talking about. He ties Sumerian tablets/cylider seals to the first four books of the Old Testament. Pretty kewl stuff. The entire "creation" story is stolen pretty much word for word from Sumerian text dating back to 11,000B.C.

"Adam" came from adama, or "worker"

Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

Sitchin takes this phrase literally. Before it was inserted into the Tanakh it was part of Sumirian mythology, along with the Deluge. "Nephilim" is a hebrew word that was directly translated from "Annunaki" in cuneiform. It is what the Sumerians would have called "god(s)".
