Bag om The Discovery Of The Genesis Legends
The Discovery of the Genesis Legends is a book written by George Smith that explores the origins and meanings of the stories found in the book of Genesis in the Bible. Smith, a British Assyriologist, was one of the first scholars to decipher cuneiform script and translate ancient Mesopotamian texts. In this book, he draws on his extensive knowledge of these texts to shed light on the creation story, the flood myth, and other stories in Genesis. He argues that these stories were not unique to the Hebrews, but were part of a larger cultural tradition that included the Babylonians, Sumerians, and other ancient peoples. Smith's work was groundbreaking in its time and helped to establish the field of comparative mythology. The Discovery of the Genesis Legends is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion, mythology, or ancient civilizations.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Chaldean Account of Genesis, by George Smith.
