Annotation
The first version of the Book of Genesis
appeared in Ancient Egypt approximately 3,600 years ago, during the Hyksos
period. The work was conceived as a fairy tale epic. An unknown
physician-encyclopedist, who is also presumed to have authored the Edwin Smith
Papyrus, played a role in its composition. He supplemented the co-author's
family legends, retellings of hallucinations, and accounts of dreams with
scientific facts. The doctor conveyed his level of medical knowledge, concepts
of the cosmos’ origin, biological and social evolution, and also outlined the
still unsolved problem of treating an injury to the ligament of the femoral
head. Later, this ancient Egyptian literary work became the foundation of
Judaism. It was adopted as the foundation for his own ethical teaching by a
physician-philosopher named Jesus, who studied at the Alexandrian Medical
School.
The reasons for the emergence of the Abrahamic religions and their beneficiaries are not discussed. However, thanks to them, this remarkable literary monument of the Bronze Age has been preserved and transformed. The dating we propose allows for more confident references to the Book of Genesis in academic publications. The rational view we have presented of the cornerstones of the Biblical epic encourages us to consider the motives of modern adherents of myth-based cults.
