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.

New publications of our resource   in 2026 The initial phase of collecting data on LCF, accumulated prior to the 20th century, is largely complete. Next, we plan to analyze and synthesize thematic information, adding data from the 20th and 21st centuries. The work will focus primarily on: prevention, diagnosis, arthroscopy, plastic surgery, and endoprosthetics.   January 22, 2026 Full access to the PDF version of the book: Human Children January 16, 2026 The necessary is needed by no one   (facebook) January 15, 2026 Tweet of January 15, 2026      A Novel Technique for Proximal Fixation   (facebook) January 14, 2026 2026 ArkhipovSV.  THE GIFTS OF THE MAGI FOR ORTHOPEDIC SURGEONS ( A Novel Technique for Proximal Fixation of Ligamentum Capitis Femoris Reconstruction ).

Paradox. The necessary is needed by no one

  Post in a community for patients after arthroplasty.                                                                                                          A question for the patient community from an implant designer (if the Admin allows it). Hello everyone, I have a question regarding Total Hip Replacement (THR). As many of you know, dislocations remain a serious risk after surgery. This often happens because a prosthesis lacks the natural ligament that stabilizes a healthy joint. I have developed an experimental prosthesis designed for significantly higher stability. This anti-dislocation effect is achieved by creating an "internal ligament" within the construct. Theoretically, this would allow patients to bring th...
