Remember, the children of Israel also made sacrifices to God, and the heathen nations made sacrifices to their gods, but one was holy, the other unholy. And there is no connection between the two, other than the same means to an end.

Well, unless you can prove that they got it from us then it may very well be that we got it from them. Either way, I've wasted most of today on this topic. But, it has been fun, as usual. Well, mostly fun anyway.
BTW,
Ezekiel 47 was a vision he had, not something that was actually happening. (just looked it up again to make sure)
