Yes, I'm familiar with that theory. It's been discussed in biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies for a while, especially among those who explore the intersections of Scripture and Mesopotamian mythology. There’s no definitive proof that they are the same man, but the similarities are notable. If they are the same, it would reinforce the idea that early Genesis contains echoes of real ancient kings by both divine revelation and collective human memory.

This theory has made the Tower of Babel's confusion of tongues much more convincing to me.

Yes, I personally believe that the world's diverse yet similar ancient mythologies emerged from the confusion of tongues. What's your take on this?

To me, that suggests a common origin. Perhaps a shared cultural memory that splintered as humanity spread out and languages diverged. The core archetypes likely remained and reinterpreted to suit new environments.
