Egyptian Testament · Vol. 4 · 2004
“Highly recommend just for the journey.”Marv, a reader on Amazon.
Why does Genesis open in a garden whose plants, river, and first couple have never been fixed on a map? Eden in Egypt rereads that opening as Amarna history. Ellis treats Adam and Eve as Akhenaten and Nefertiti, and Eden as a royal landscape in Middle Egypt rather than a mythic garden with no place. Genesis, on this account, is displaced court history. The identification is his, and it is not the academic account of either Genesis or Amarna. The book is for readers who want that court, and that couple, read as one story.
What you'll explore
