Biblical Adam & Eve Plagiarized Ancient Egyptian Creation Story
For millions of years, mankind has been on this planet, but you wouldn’t know this if you stuck strictly with the story of Adam and Eve from the Bible. Fortunately for me, I’ve always had a keen interest in ancient history. Therefore, I knew the earth was older than the Bible’s Adam and Eve story, which I’ve recently found out, was a plagiarized story from the Egyptian creation story. I’m talking about writings that predate actual Biblical figures. Writings that is as ancient as possibly 36,000 years. These writings are engraved in stone, which go back to the First Earth Age. We’re in the Second Earth Age or possibly the Third Earth Age. I still believe God created a man in His own image and after His own likeness, but what if this particular man that God created was not the Adam of the Bible? What if he was another man created in the likeness of God, because it is obvious that the story of the Egyptian god called Atum and the Egyptian goddess called Tefnut was copied by Biblical writers, and then turned into the Adam/Eve creation version?
In addition, the Bible does state that Adam was created in the image and likeness of God which means Adam was an exact replica of the Creator and this, in turn, would make him a god like Atum. There are African writings, which are the first systems of writing that depict the story of God who looks like a black man. Based on historical evidence, the Adam and Eve story was plagiarized from the ancient writings of Egypt’s creation story, which historians have termed as mythological stories. But these stories are actual documented history, which the Egyptians were very good at keeping.
Author Charles N. Pope writes, “In the mythology of ancient Egypt, the god who arrived first on the Earth was called Atum, signifying “Totality.” Atum, as with Biblical Adam, was naked and required a civilizing influence. “The loincloth given to Atum served less to clothe him, in the strict sense of the word, than to permit him to manifest his royalty by means of a specific garment.” One cannot help but compare the royal undergarment of Atum with the fig leaf loincloth made for Biblical Adam. In the Egyptian creation story, the first goddess, Tefnut, was said to come forth out of Atum. One of her Mesopotamian nicknames was Nin-ti, meaning “Lady Life,” or “The Lady (Who Makes) Live.” S.N. Kramer states that ti is also the Sumerian word for “rib,” therefore Nin-ti could variously be interpreted as “the Lady of the Rib.” In the Bible, Eve is of course formed from the rib of Adam.” The Egyptians believed the Creator was a benevolent being who exacted mercy as well as judgment upon His creation. The Bible has this same concept of God. In addition, the Egyptian monotheistic system mirrors that of Christianity and Judaism. Of course the Egyptian cultural civilization has been demonized for so long until it is hard to tell truth from fiction. In their writings, the Egyptians would use anthropomorphic characters to represent the different attributes of nature, but yet the story goes that the Egyptians worshipped different types of deities represented by the anthropomorphic characters, which is something I also believed at first until I did further research on ancient civilizations. This is when I realized that the ancient Egyptians actually had a monotheistic system of the worship of one God. In fact, much of the Biblical stories have been plagiarized from ancient Egyptian writings and history.
