His Glory with God from the Beginning

Does an age of archaeological discovery of the Chalcolithic Age combined with ancient texts mentioning a Son of Man throw light on the identity of the Christ?
How does modern archaeology of the Sumerian Levant combined with ancient texts related to that time throw light on the mystery of the person of the Christ? The texts of ancient Sumeria are constantly being translated and throw up new insights into religion of the time. One text not among them but similar to some has accurate details of the Chalcolithic period not known until recently so perhaps warrants review. This is called the Book of Enoch. This text records that a prophet and king of the period saw a person with God called the Son of Man. Could this be the heavenly person with whom Lord Jesus Christ thousands of years later identified Himself?

In my personal research looked at places and times of emergence from 3500 BC onwards of human dolls and magic-related objects. They appear later in time the further you get from a single place. They appear in finds earliest near the region of the border between Lebanon and Israel. They appear latest in Egypt to the south (Pre-Dynastic) and Cyprus to the north. They are abundant in finds near the coastlands and lowlands of east Israel and Gaza. The focus is Hermon between Israel and Lebanon. How would anyone late in Israel's history know this pattern lay hidden to be discovered recently? They would not. So how would a writer if pseudepygrphal of the book know to say the angels that introduced magic and the like started out from Hebron targeting women of the vicinity and their teachings spread out from there to malign the world? It suggests that this was what Enoch in Sumeria truly taught at that time. So the Son of Man was with God at that time too. Look too at metallurgy. It is in Enoch's book that it spread along with the magic arts and artefacts, and along with face painting for beautification. This is the case in the finds. As Enoch said the adding of antimony to make alloys of greater strength than copper were spread having been introduced at the same time. This is found in places like described here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonferrous_Archaeometallurgy_in_the_Southern_Levant . Face painting objects appear in Predynastic Egypt with mirror-like shiny polished decorated pallettes for it and we all know they painted the edges of their eyes from that time. Modern archaeology attests it but it would not be known long after it happened in such detail, surely, to have caused this book to be so accurate if written late in Jewish history.
