You are right in that the timeline for Adam and Eve is 6,000 years ago whereas human history goes back way before that. So everyone coming before that time would be pre-Adamic. Logically it points to Africans, Aborigines and such as being the Eloheim.
This makes me ask the question, when one god turned to the other and said "they have become as one of us, knowing good and evil." What was the good and evil that the Elohiem were keeping from the Aduma?
Much like the story of Enki and Adapa except it switched a little. Anu called for Adapa to visit him in the heavens. Enki instructed Adapa not to eat any of the food he was being offered. Adapa went to the heaven and was greeted by Ningishidza and Tammuz. Anu offered to Adapa the food and drink of eternal life. But Adapa told Anu he could not partake because his Lord told him not to. Anu then asked, who dare set their word above his? Adapa forfeited immortality to the mortals this way.
Adapa was given wisdom and knowledge but not immortality by Enki. Similarly when Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of knowledge the Eloheim then said, let us stop them before they also eat of the Tree of Life, right?
You can see similarities with the Adam and Eve. Also in the Bible as well as the Near Eastern, Mesopotamian myths that are the basis of Genesis the gods are given human form, yet are also abstractions and personification of different aspects of nature at the same time. The weeping God Tammuz you referenced was a Spring renewal and vegitation god. Similar to the Orisas in West African tradition. So then, what constitutes an Eloheim?
With Haile Selassie we can point out his birth date July 23 as the first day of Leo. Astrologically Judah is Leo and in turn the Sun. In the celestial astrological nature of Haile Selassie I he really embodies the Lion of Judah title more so then the Emperors before H.I.M. in this way. July 23 is also the highest holy day in Egypt, the rising of Sirius. Sirius is important in the Quran, Kabbalah and African traditions. Haile Selassie's birth also ended a long time drought as well as his visit to Jamaica ended a drought. God Kings were expected to be able to bring rains, and the word reign is related to rain. So the nature aspect is very much present with H.I.M. Haile Selassie I.
So then how does one elevate to the level of being in the nature of the Eloheim? As it says in Psalm 82 yee are gods, but shall die as men... rise up Oh God.
There is a state which can be achieved as Enoch and Elijah ascended into angelic state. In the Kabbalah, Adam Kadmon, who was before the physical Adam is our highest and inherent potential. Jacob's ladder the spinal column and DNA. It is an eternal Etherial nature. His Majesty displays the Kadmon.
I follow what the Iman is saying about Africans being pre-Adamic. When ones talk of the Eloheim there is a higher level of heights that constitutes being in that nature. I reason that ones elevate to that, for the good of Creation. Is simply being African what makes one Eloheim or is there more to it is my question? Is there something that we once had that has been lost Iman?
