 FACT: Veckman tells Dana that Zuul was a demigod worshiped by  Hittites, Mesopotamians & Sumerians around 6000 BC. This fits for  the Sumerian culture as they were just coming into being around that  time. However, the Hittite culture didnt exist until a good 4000  years later than Vekmans date of 6000 BC. Mesopotamia does not  refer to any people or culture. It refers to a geographical area  that has had many peoples and cultures over the last 8000 years, not  including the Hittites, who resided 500 miles to the west of  Mesopotamia.
