Who, When, and Where Wrote the Book of Genesis?

  Who, When, and Where Wrote the Book of Genesis?  A Medical Hypothesis By Sergey V. Arkhipov, MD, PhD & Lyudmila N. Arkhipova, BSN     CONTENT [i]   Abstract [ii]   Introduction [iii]   Egyptian physician [iv]   Asian diviner [v]   Conclusion [vi]   References [vii]   Application [i]   Abstract The Book of Genesis is an example of an ancient literary text that contains important medical insights. We propose that it was written in northern Egypt in the late 17th century BCE, approximately ten years after the Minoan eruption. The protograph likely emerged from the collaboration between an Asiatic seer, who rose to the rank of an Egyptian official, and an Egyptian physician-encyclopedist. By refining its dating and authorship, this hypothesis positions Genesis as a credible source of medical and historical data, thereby enhancing its value for interdisciplinary research.

ARTICLE ANNOUNCEMENT: THE BOOK OF BERESHIT AS A GREAT COMPILATION

  Article Announcement: «The Book of Bereshit as a Great Compilation of Texts and Meanings from the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt: A Pilot Culturological, Medical, Archaeological, and Textological Examination of the Legends versus Traditional Attribution»   By Sergey V. Arkhipov, MD, PhD  Joensuu, Finland   Abstract The Book of Bereshit (Genes is) was composed in Egypt during the 17th century BCE and reached its definitive protographic form following the Minoan eruption  of Thera . This study argues that the work was a collaborative effort between an Egyptian physician-encyclopedist and an outstanding scribe of Asiatic origin, operating within a sophisticated administrative and scientific framework. By analyzing anatomical descriptions, Bronze Age economic data, and climatic markers, this paper demonstrates that the text originated as a high-level socio-political commission within the Egyptian House of Life. Keywords Genesis Protograph, Bereshi...
