Genesis

With regard to time in creation myths, that were around
before the Genesis book of the bible it should be remembered
that it was the Egyptians that separated the day and night,
time wise and the Babylonians who had the 7 days week.

Genesis not only writes of the world being created in 7
days though, we know that with the Sabbath it is down
as the Christian Sunday as a day to worship.
Not only was this 7 days created in pagan times we
still have the days of week named after gods,
the wandering stars of pagan astrology.

The moon, moonth, had a 29 days shadow spin
but with daylight a 28 day good look. But this
broke down into 7 days and the ancients didn't
have 7 fingers and you couldn't construct it
easily from triangles, so it seems it went down
as unlucky and they let god have it and they downed
tools as a safety measure.

The Jews will argue that Genesis was written
after Egypt, so the Egyptian 7 days would be
fresh in their minds. Or as others say, Genesis
was written at the time of a more settled Jewish
state, then it borrowed from various ancients around
at the time who been using the 7 days week.

Now there are many long lived people in Genesis
but here we should note that the Egyptians called their
months, years. And so rather than anything great
happening, we only have another misrepresentation
of history.
