Mysterious Egypt
The yeast of bread was fist discovered in Egypt though barley and wheat were brought to Egypt from Mesopotamia.
It is also impressive that the Bible depicted the journey to Egypt for both the stories of Abraham and Christ Jesus. Moses was also half-Egyptian.
Egypt is still mysterious. Something crucial to Christianity might be waiting in Egypt for its discovery.
The Nag Hammadi Library, a collection of thirteen ancient books (called "codices") containing over fifty texts, was discovered in upper Egypt in 1945. This immensely important discovery includes a large number of primary "Gnostic Gospels" – texts once thought to have been entirely destroyed during the early Christian struggle to define "orthodoxy" – scriptures such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and the Gospel of Truth. The discovery and translation of the Nag Hammadi library, initially completed in the 1970's, has provided impetus to a major re-evaluation of early Christian history and the nature of Gnosticism.
