There is an opinion:
Arkhipov S.V. The Book of Bereshit as a Great Compilation of Texts and
Meanings from the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt. February 16, 2026. [in Russian]
Hypothesis: The Book of Bereshit
(Genesis) was composed in Egypt during the 17th century BCE and reached its
definitive protographic form following the Minoan eruption. The work was
carried out by an Egyptian physician-encyclopedist and an outstanding scribe of
Asian origin.

Conclusion: In the book
“Bereshit” we have identified numerous literary parallels, cosmogonic similarities,
ethical correspondences, lexical and cultural borrowings, various inversions,
as well as plot convergences with ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian texts.
Based on the conducted analysis and taking into account archaeological and
historical data, we believe that the book “Bereshit” is a high-level
compilation.
The scale of the work and the use of diverse source
material imply the participation of two authors. The first was a
scribe-administrator, apparently of Asian descent, while the second was an
erudite, materialistically minded Egyptian physician familiar with magic. The
scribe recorded genealogies, family traditions, and national myths, creating a
powerful Mesopotamian layer. The physician imbued the plots with
natural-scientific credibility, drawing on clinical cases from practice and
medical knowledge. We do not exclude the possibility that both co-authors were
ethnically Egyptian, creating this work at the behest of an influential
official of Asiatic origin who served the Pharaohs of the 13th Dynasty..
The analysis we conducted shows that the writers
operate with realities specific to the period of the 17th–16th centuries BCE.
The text contains rare anomalous insertions dating from the Ramesside period
and later. At the same time, the work predominantly consists of adapted
retellings of religious concepts and ideas that emerged during the Old and
Middle Kingdoms. A comprehensive evaluation allows us to suggest that the
protograph of the book “Bereshit” was composed in Middle Egyptian language at
the end of the Second Intermediate Period – beginning of the New Kingdom, after
the Minoan eruption.
We believe the text was created in northern Egypt, in
the Nile Delta, most likely in the scriptorium of the “House of Life,” which possessed
a rich collection of manuscripts. The most probable place of composition
appears to us to be Heliopolis. Another strong candidate is the geographical
and cultural crossroads of the aforementioned period – Avaris.
The study we have carried out provides yet another argument in favor of
the first mention of the human ligament of the head of femur occurring in the
Bronze Age. Such ancient knowledge of this anatomical element demonstrates the
outstanding contribution to science made by the physicians of Egypt. The
insightful observations of our ancient colleagues have reached us thanks to the
careful preservation of the book “Bereshit” by adherents of the Abrahamic
religions. In this we see white magic, which once gave birth to medicine.
