Edwin Smith Papyrus vis-à-vis Book of Genesis

  

A correspondence has been found between the level of medical knowledge in the Edwin Smith Papyrus and the Book of Genesis. Were both works written during the same historical period?

What do medical historians and Egyptologists think about this? 

Based on the analysis I conducted, I believe that the protograph of the Book of Genesis was written at the end of the Second Intermediate Period in Egypt, with the collaboration of an Asian diviner and an Egyptian physician. Arguments in more detail are presented in my online article: Архипов С.В. Кто и когда впервые описал повреждение ligamentum capitis femoris? (WHO FIRST DESCRIBED THE LIGAMENTUM CAPITIS FEMORIS INJURY AND WHEN? This article is available in Russian, and translation to your desired language can be done using a browser plugin). See:

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 8

  Short retelling of chapter 1 of the essay: Arkhipov S.V. Human Children: The Origins of Biblical Legends from a Physician's Perspective. Joensuu: Author's Edition, 2025. [In Russian]  Chapter 8. THE LAND OF NOD Cain’s family settled in the land of "Nod," where they established a "city." We propose this tribal group followed a route later known as the Great Khorasan Road, leading Cain, son of Adam, to the Kermanshah Valley in the central Zagros Mountains. There, we believe he founded the settlement of "Enoch," its remnants linked to the archaeological site of Sheikh-e Abad (34°36'42"N, 47°16'11"E). In this village, the newcomers mastered musical instruments, developed metalworking techniques, and some adopted nomadic herding, living in "tents with flocks." As a farmer, Cain likely preserved knowledge of agriculture. Favorable conditions, division of labor, and acquired skills probably fueled population growth among thes...

Key Role of the LCF

  In the experiments conducted on the pelvis-femur-muscle-ligaments model, we found that when the contralateral pelvic drop occurs, the ligament of the head of femur become maximally tense; simultaneously, there is relaxation and lengthening of the gluteus medius muscle; the pelvis spontaneously rotates towards the stance limb (forward), and the load on the hip joint decreases. Thanks to the functioning of the ligament of the head of femur the walking is smooth, rhythmic, and energy-efficient.
