Publisher's Synopsis
Egyptian Wisdom And The Hebrew Genesis is a book written by Gerald Massey that explores the similarities between ancient Egyptian mythology and the stories found in the Hebrew Bible's book of Genesis. Massey argues that many of the themes, symbols, and characters in Genesis have their roots in Egyptian mythology and that the Hebrew writers borrowed heavily from Egyptian wisdom and traditions. The book examines the creation story, the flood myth, and other key stories in Genesis and compares them to similar stories from Egyptian mythology. Massey also explores the connections between the Egyptian gods and the biblical patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He suggests that the Hebrew writers may have been influenced by the Egyptian concept of the afterlife and the belief in a judgment day. Overall, Egyptian Wisdom And The Hebrew Genesis offers a unique perspective on the origins of the Bible's creation story and provides a fascinating look at the ancient Egyptian beliefs that continue to influence modern culture.THIS 80 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Ancient Egypt the Light of the World Part 1, by Gerald Massey.
