There is evidence of monotheistic beliefs and practices in ancient Egypt, for example, where pharaoh Akhenaten established worship of the sun-disk Aten as the sole god in the mid-14th century BCE. Similarly, the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism, which dates back to the 6th century BCE, features the worship of a single god, Ahura Mazda.
But akhenaten changed it from the polytheistic pantheon after zoroastrianism began around 1500 B.C. as I said in my post you replied to in the first place.
I would agree with you in that any early post diluvian civilization would be heavily polytheistic. But would you agree that this era is not the beginning of Human history? Almost all of these ancient civilizations speak of a catastrophic flood where only a few survived. That much is historical.
Well, the family(s) that survived that flood would’ve had intimate knowledge of the world prior to that flood and would’ve most likely passed some of those stories on through their Oral traditions - much like the majority of ancient history back then.
Of the ancient records/stories we do possess, someone had to get it right, yes?

Not much history to be had going back that far is there?
