In 2010, David P. Melvin publishes a paper in The Journal of Hebrew Scriptures (volume 10, article 17, pages 1-15). The full title is "Divine Mediation and the Rise of Civilization in Mesopotamian Literature and in Genesis 1-11".
Melvin performs a straightforward comparison between the written mythologies of the ancient Near East and Genesis 1-11.
How do these bodies of literature account for the rise of civilization?
These comments re-articulate Melvin's analysis from the point of view of the first singularity, a proposal detailed in the scientific treatise, The First Singularity and Its Fairy Tale Trace, and in the dramatic fiction, An Archaeology of the Fall.
