As for that 'Claymation Creation Story'.... we have an Egyptian god called Khnum, one of their very major earliest deities who fashioned humans & gods out of clay!
So many cobbled & stolen stories, so little time, also known as the 'Divine Potter', i could do this to you for
the next ten weeks in a row & still have more proofs.
KHNUM .....The Divine Potter, God of Creation....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khnum
Since the annual flooding of the Nile brought with it silt and clay, and its water brought life to its surroundings, he was thought to be the creator of the bodies of human children, which he made at a potter's wheel, from clay, and placed in their mothers' wombs.
He later was described as having moulded the other deities, and he had the titles Divine Potter and Lord of created things from himself. The temple at Elephantine was dedicated to Khnum, his consort Satis and their daughter Anukis. The temple dates back to at least the Middle Kingdom. By the 11th dynasty Khnum, Satis and Anukis are all attested at Elephantine. During the New Kingdom finds from the time of Ramesses II show Khnum was still worshipped there. [3]
