If you say so, you keep showing one Mesopotamian cylinder seal image why so? This is a cylinder seal made in first millennium (circa 700 BCE) and shows the tree of life - why is that important to you?
Cuneiform transitioned from a pictograph language to a sound based language over the 3000 years it was used. For a explanation of this please watch the following video.
Writing seems to have been invented in the late fourth millennium BC in Mesopotamia in the form of wedge-shaped marks pressed into soft clay with a reed stylus: the script known as cuneiform. Through his work on this ancient language, Irving Finkel, has uncovered amazing secrets from over five thousand years ago, including the story behind Noah’s ark.

Once you understand this you can see the progression of the mindset. Its not the "Tree of Life" I'm interested in, its the depiction of "Heaven" above it.
You will note a Crescent Moon, a Pyramid, a sphere, what appears to be a wooden boat, and 3 figures in it. This is the oldest depiction of this "Realm".
The next youngest depiction changes this realm into a Sphere with wings with one king in it. It also has writing along the top.
The youngest depiction has now finalized this region into a sphere with wings and a single king inside it. This would be the origins of the Phrase "Man in the Moon".
The original, more complicated pictograph was simplified over the years and later depictions removed some of the more revealing features.
It strikes me, someone is telling us the original gods heavenly abode, was actually, our moon. And originally there were at least 3 figures worthy of praise that after some time, was now one.
This train of thought, I believe, would explain the existence of a ancient Moon worship, Moon god.
In mythology, a lunar deity is a god or goddess of the Moon, sometimes as a personification. These deities can have a variety of functions and traditions depending upon the culture, but they are often related. Some form of moon worship can be found in most ancient religions.

moon worship
moon worship. Although the moon has not had great prominence in the history of religion, the worship of it has been known since earliest recorded time—in the oldest literatures of Egypt, Babylonia, India, and China—and still exists today in various parts of the world, particularly among certain African and Native American groups. Moon worship is founded on the belief that the phases of the moon and the growth and decline of plant, animal, and human life are related. In some societies food was laid out at night to absorb the rays of the moon, which were thought to have power to cure disease and prolong life. Among the Baganda of central Africa it was customary for a mother to bathe her newborn child by the light of the first full moon. The moon was frequently equated with wisdom and justice, as in the worship of the Egyptian god Thoth and the Mesopotamian god Sin. In general, however, the moon has been the basis for many amorous legends and some superstitions (madmen were once considered to be moonstruck, hence the term lunatic) and is particularly important in the practice of astrology.

Again, the Masons tell us.
There is no more spectacular reminder of our Masonic historical and ritualistic heritage than the moon at its height of fullness. While astronomers view the moon with the analytical eye of science, the moon has been a focal point for cultures around the world throughout history and has inspired music, poetry and religion alike. However, for Masons, and particularly Vermont Masons, the moon has not just been a symbolic light in our ritualistic teaching but also a literal light to our brethren of long ago. It thus behooves us to take a moment to remember the moon and its long association with the Craft and its origins.
THE MOON IN MASONIC HISTORY
So, certainly, if there ever were to be men going to the moon, you would expect those moon worshipers, to be the first, to find out first hand, the truth of the moon.
And guess what? They were!
Yes, astronaut Buzz Aldrin is a Freemason.
He was initiated into Freemasonry at Oak Park Lodge No. 864 in Alabama and raised at Lawrence N. Greenleaf Lodge, No. 169 in Colorado.
He is also a member of the York Rite and Arabia Shrine Temple of Houston.
The Masonic Flag That Went To The Moon
You once said that I said the Masons rule the world, which I did not say. But correct none the less. The Masons do not rule the world. They, as a whole are quite ignorant of the true workings of this Matrix. They are allowed to believe anything they like, as long as they follow the guidelines, that are set out by the Royal bloodlines of those ancient gods. They are some of the most intelligent people on earth, who have been fed Hoodwinking BS, by their elite and wealthy owners, to be nothing more, than smart monkeys. If they ran the world, which they don't, they would have already known the truth about the Celestial Chariot, we call the Moon. They are nothing but high level pawns. Go stand on your checkerboard. The gods, laugh at your ignorance!

The moon was frequently equated with wisdom and justice, as in the worship of the Egyptian god Thoth and the Mesopotamian god Sin. In general, however, the moon has been the basis for many amorous legends and some superstitions (madmen were once considered to be moonstruck, hence the term lunatic) and is particularly important in the practice of astrology. Many ancient peoples regarded the Moon as the chief of the two luminaries. “The sun was of smaller importance than the moon in the eyes of the Babylonian astrologers.”
The Assyrians and the Chaldeans referred to the time of the Moon-god as the oldest period in the memory of the people: before other planetary gods came to dominate the world ages, the Moon was the supreme deity. Such references are found in the inscriptions of Sargon II (ca. -720)(2) and Nabonidus (ca. -550).(3) The Babylonian Sin—the Moon—was a very ancient deity: Mount Sinai owes its name to Sin.
The Moon, appearing as a body larger than the Sun, was endowed by the imagination of the peoples with a masculine role, while the Sun was assigned a feminine role. Many languages reserved a masculine name for the Moon.(4) It was probably when the Moon was removed to a greater distance from the earth and became smaller to observers on the earth, that another name, usually feminine, came to designate the Moon in most languages.
Moon worship has been practiced in Arabia since 2000 BC. The crescent moon is the most common symbol of this pagan moon worship as far back as 2000 BC.
In Mecca, there was a god named Hubal who was Lord of the Kabah.
This Hubal was a moon god.
One Muslim apologist confessed that the idol of moon god Hubal was placed upon the roof of the Kaba about 400 years before Muhammad. This may in fact be the origin of why the crescent moon is on top of every minaret at the Kaba today and the central symbol of Islam atop of every mosque throughout the world:

How did they move the vast quantities of water from Tiamat to Earth?
The crust ranges from 38 miles (60 km) on the near side to 63 miles (100 km) on the far side.
As we continue our exploration into the history and effects of our Earth’s Moon, we discover the possibility that there may be much more to our reality than we’re lead to believe, and that the Moon may play an instrumental role in holding us in states where violence and aggression are normal… and the negativity which disempowers us, empowers something else.
Would you take the red pill? If so, join us as we explore what appears to be a real-life Matrix – and the different concepts that show the surprising role the Moon may play in keeping it all in place.

So the moon was much closer to the earth than we find today, but when?
My guess would be "Pre Great Flood". My best guess was that the great flood and the African Humid Periods end, in aprox 3550bc.
Given that date, Moon Worship would be the oldest religion, on earth. And I might add, the longest running religion at over, at least, 3000 years.....
And there would be little doubt that this religion was also practiced in old Egypt, at the very least.

Which would give you a volume of roughly V = 5,203,720,980 yd3 Slightly over 5 Billion cubic yards, of water, if, NASA is correct in saying the moon might be hollow.
This amount as massive as it is would not account for all the water on earth at the present time. It would have required many "drops" of water to account for. But if you study the historical record of global oxygen content, this is actually is reflected, starting with a starting date hinged to the age of the ocean beds.
It is commonly acknowledged to be roughly 70 million years ago, but now it has been shown that the dating processes are flawed. This date also coincides with the extinction event that killed out the Dinosaurs. It appears as though their demise was not the act of a meteorite, but of drowning.
It is also very possible that the Earth in those days was much smaller than today (Expanding Earth). So the devastating impact of 5 billion Sq yards of water in any one area, would have been massive.
Not only Tiamat, but also the waters that were on Mars were brought here to again, terraform Earth into a water world. Which Technically, we are.
There is some possibilities that some amounts of water arrived here free floating, along with other debris from the broken up planet, Tiamat (The Sky is Falling).
To answer your question directly, inside the moon. As to whether the moon is self propelled, or towed, I haven't a clue.

NASA says the Moon is solid. They do not even remotely believe it is hollow
It all comes down to water. There’s moisture in the materials that makes up our planet, expanding their structure. As energy from an earthquake moves through our planet, that damp material acts like a sponge, absorbing the energy of the waves and ultimately deadening their effects. But the Moon is dry, cool, and rigid, more like a solid rock than a sponge. So even if a moonquake is less intense, there’s nothing to deaden the vibrations. They just go back and forth through the body until the solid stone eventually stops them. The “ringing bell” is the shock waves reverberating through that stone.

Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
