In mythology, Jewish mythology refers to a syncretism mythology, made in c.500BC by the Is-Ra-El-ites, constructed from an admixture of: Egyptian mythology, Sumerian mythology (or Babylonian mythology), and Greek mythology, wherein the god-to-prophet technique of god reduction was employed, e.g. the god Atum became the man or prophet Adam, implicitly, starting from the basis of the then prevalent two alternative creation myths (version A and version B), such as found on the Nesi-Amsu Papyrus (c.310BC), and made into the opening pages of Genesis.
