There's a name for it...

Panbabylonism.
School of thought within Assyriology and Religious studies that considers the Hebrew Bible and Judaism as directly derived from Babylonian culture and mythology. (Wiki)
Alfred Jeremias, in 1914, was already trying to do what I'm doing now. Create a comprehensive picture of human migration, rise of civilisations and origin of mythologies from the middle east (that sounded awesome). My hope in succeeding lies in not repeating his, and his successors' mistakes. They decided to base their hypothesis on astronomy and astrology. Astronomy i can understand and can see it being a reference to how their mythologies developed and then shaped their cultures. But Astrology? That's the pseudo in science and why Aliens end up in the books about Panbabylonism now days. Until astrology can provide better dates, bodies, texts and monuments of past civilization, I'll stick to good old science. I'm not saying science is perfect, they can be dismissive of different ideas, narrow minded to the point of obsession on ideas that haven't been proven (looking at you string), but it's better than guessing with numbers and stars. I do admit that I'll speculate on a lot of things, but I'll point those out and would gladly welcome proof that would disprove any proposed hypothesis.
It's also interesting that they are showing specials on 2012 on history channel.
