Been my outlandish theory about Sumer and the Indus cities. That there were more contacts and interaction than has been acknowledged or discovered.
Some oddities - the word Sumer in Sindhi is the word for Monday, FWIW.
The ancient deity of the Indus, Jhoolelal, a seagod on a dolphin, is eerily similar to the water ocean god of the Sumerians.

Oh, it's not so outlandish. What is outlandish is the Aryan invasion theory which I don't really buy. there's no sign of it, the only thing was that German dude's imagination. The Aryans must have originated in Iran-India-Transoxiana and slowly moved into the Harappan areas, maybe even been the traders between the cities -- a symbiotic relationship.
