"Rough Stone Monuments and Their Builders" from Thomas Eric Peet. English Egyptologist (1882-1934).
Explore the profound connections between ancient Egypt and the Old Testament in 'Egypt and the Old Testament' by T. Eric Peet. In this thought-provoking book, Peet delves into the intricate interplay between biblical narratives and the history, culture, and mythology of Egypt. Peet's meticulous research and insightful analysis reveal the ways in which Egypt influenced the stories and symbolism found in the Old Testament. From the biblical account of Joseph's rise to power in Egypt to the dramatic Exodus of the Israelites, 'Egypt and the Old Testament' sheds light on the enduring legacy of Egypt's presence in biblical literature.--Publisher description.
During the last hundred years scholarship has revealed the existence of two other eastern literatures which are not only as old as that of the Hebrews but very much older, namely those of Egypt and Babylonia. . . . Although much of Babylonian literature is know to us mainly from the Assyrian versions found in Assurbanipal's library, recent discoveries have shown that many of its best epic and lyric productions go back at least two thousand years further, and have their roots in the Sumerian civilization. In Egypt, too, religious literature is found in a highly developed state as early as the Pyramid Texts, which, in the form in which we have them, are as old as 2500 B.C., and possibly go back in part to much earlier originals. These discoveries make it no longer possible to regard the literature of the Hebrews as an isolated phenomenon in the ancient East, and they furnish a host of new criteria which must be applied to any attempt to explain and to appraise the Old Testament. --from the Preface
