Not only that, he also appears to have known something about relativity
in this book published in English abot 65 years before Einstein. The
PoGP is the first publication I know of indicating that time is
equivalent to another space dimension.

And just what do you suppose they talked about when he discussed
astronomy with Pharaoh?

How do you know it didn't? Lots of ancient information has been lost.
What Abraham knew was contrary to common belief at the time so probably
didn't get widely disseminated. Remember, nothing got printed then, it
had to be hand written and nobody was going to copy things unless he
thought them worthwhile.

The Bible is not a science text. For that matter neither is the PoGP,
it only mentions these things in passing.

Most things got written only once back then. Again, they lacked modern
technology and writing was all done by hand.

Say what? Any literate person in Abraham's culture would have been
able to read it.

A better question is why you repeat the question in this thread when
people have already answered the same question after you asked it in
another thread.

I don't mind answering honest questions, but repeating the question in
a different thread after it has been answered seems, well a little odd
to say the least.
