EMER
EMER is a mythical woman in Irish Mythology, who married Cuchulain, a demi-god hero (close name to Kulkulcan, Mayan Venus God = Queztalcoatl).
Could the name Emer have been brought over by Mulekites who stopped in England (per Lance and the Kolbrin?).
As for how old these irish myths are, a contributor on Quora had this to say:
“In terms of manuscripts, about 1,300 years of written records.
In terms of content, some of the tales like The Taín mention details like heroes fighting in iron chariots. The Iron Age started around 500 BCE, and the last time the Irish used actual iron chariots as part of warfare seems to have been around 100 BCE., So, details from or parts of that mythic cycle must be at least 2,100 years old.
Similarly, in both Welsh and Irish legends, you come across weird details like an opponent using a flint-tipped weapon. Stone weapons generally antedate the Iron Age, meaning they are even older than references to iron chariots. (This can be misleading though, as some stone weapons like sling ammunition were still in use as late as the Norman Conquest in 1066 AD.)
So, generally my answer is that Celtic mythology may be unfathomably old. Centuries old. Older than the introduction of writing to Ireland and Wales and Scotland.
However, individual tales have no doubt shed parts of their narrative and absorbed new parts each generation. Myths are living things, not frozen ones. Even if our current surviving myths only go back a few thousand years, the odds are quite good that some sort of mythology existed among the Irish people all the way back to proto-Indo-European Ur-myths of 5,000 BCE, and before that, as far back as humans have used complex language.” https://www.quora.com/How-old-is-Irish-mythology

Indeed, if urim meant light, then thummim could mean the opposite, darkness, as the Hebrew root ‘tm’ indicates a closing up, or a concealing.

Atum?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atum
“Atum’s name is thought to be derived from the verb tm which means ‘to complete’ or ‘to finish’. Thus, he has been interpreted as being the “complete one” and also the finisher of the world, which he returns to watery chaos at the end of the creative cycle.”

Aether, primordial Greek god. Battles lionheaded man. Ether has a conflict of sorts with Coriantumr, whose name means lion, when he prophesies to him and Coriantumr seeks to slay him.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_(mythology)
atar means black or dark, also connected to PIE hehter, meaning fire. Could support that Ether was a servant or of a different social class… aka not “fair”, and that he shone in the darkness like the evening star.
