Project Gutenberg 2006-03-28 Public domain in the USA. 420 King, L. W. (Leonard William) 1869 1919 King, Leonard William Legends of Babylon and Egypt in Relation to Hebrew Tradition Produced by John Bickers, Dagny and David Widger "Legends of Babylon and Egypt in Relation to Hebrew Tradition" by L. W. King is a scholarly historical account published in the early 20th century. The work aims to explore and compare Hebrew traditions with the mythological and legendary narratives of Babylon and Egypt, particularly integrating new findings from archaeological discoveries in Babylonia around the time of the First World War. The opening of the text introduces the overarching thesis of the lectures, emphasizing how the myths, particularly those surrounding the Creation and the Deluge, reveal striking similarities between Sumerian and Hebrew traditions. King details that the evidence garnered from newly discovered Sumerian texts will necessitate a reevaluation of the origins of these tales, illustrating how ancient civilizations may have influenced one another through trade, conquest, and cultural exchange. He begins with remarks on the continuity of civilization in the Near East and sets the stage for a more detailed examination of the interconnections among the mythologies, legends, and emerging cultural narratives of Babylon, Egypt, and the Hebrews.
