It means whatever you want. That's the beauty of religion.Why would God choose one Group of people over another? What does it even mean to be "Chosen"? Chosen for what? Does it mean all Jews will go to Heaven?

and that proves what? The actual Biblical flood happened way before sumer. The remnant of humans who became Sumer told the tale distorting it along the way till they came up with their flood narrative.
The flood myth (Noah) also comes from Sumer.
Nope. The king of Sumer was hauling grain, livestock and beer downriver on barges.
The rivers often overflowed their banks when snowmelt from the Zagros mountains combined with spring rains. That's what built the delta south of Basra. The whole area is very flat...and there is flood sediment.
there were no barges or any vessels at all, your account makes no sense at all it was the dawn of mankind - your romanticism, time frame serves no purpose whatsoever.
the event is universally passed down through history regardless sumer - for one, never read the event, paradisians know it by heart spoken or not as heavenly prosperity whether the goal is accomplished or not.
not the desert version made foolish as a nursery rhyme.

seriously you're going to go by a source written by people who claimed their kings lived for thousands of years?It was in the spring. The Tigress and Euphrates are very, very low by late summer. It happened in 2900 BC. See the king's list.
God created the people who called themselves sumerian. They took the story and because they were separated further and further from God the creator they added their man inspired causes, reasons and details of an event that occured in their cultural past.It was in the spring.

Sumer – reading Ecclesiastes through the kaleidoscope of time & belief

Shuruppak is the name of a grain storage city that flourished on the banks of the Euphrates until c. 2000 BCE. Grandsire Ubara-Tutu reigned 18,600 years and is said to be the last king of Sumer before the Flood, the last pre-dynastic king of the Early Bronze Age I—which ended around 2900 BCE—and the first Sumerian king to reign from the city of Shuruppak.
Then as now, river barges were used for transporting cargo on the Euphrates River. This cargo included livestock, beer, wine, textiles, lumber, stone, metals, dried fish, vegetable oil, and other cargo.

The Sumerian King List records the lengths of reigns of the kings of Sumer. The initial section deals with kings before the Flood and is significantly different from the rest.answersingenesis.org
