Shinar is Babylon

Probably correct in a general sense, but on what do you base this statement?


The Midrash identifies Chedorlaomer as Elom son of Shem son of Noah

Which Midrash? Do you have a source?

You really should read Maharal on midrashim.



Shoshanna

And please remember to use your full name.
