Waddell was trying to prove that the origin of the peoples who settled the
Indus valley were of Sumerian and not Semitic origin. He produced companion
king lists from Sumer and juxtaposed them alongside king lists found in the Indus
valley showing that there was a commonality. As far as being "suspect" I
don't think he altered any of them.
I am also perplexed the Oxford companion to archeology would mention 2900
B.C. in reference to Uruk without mentioning a flood, although perhaps Kish was
flooded and Uruk was not?
I did not suggest waddell altered anything. I said the dates for the reigns
are contested.
Have you ever heard that the indo-european peoples are known to have altered
mesopotamian river beds to drown or dry up
cities causing the water to leave its river bed? I have read that this was
a war tactic.
