Paradise: Papyrus of Solamon

Doaa E. Tolis

The Book "Paradise: Papyrus of Solamon," documents a tour, tracing the journey of Human Development. The journey begins at the time Humans tried to recall memory, but nothing came to mind, then travels through the passage of Time to the present day. It brings creative nonfiction to a new level as it takes the reader through well-known religious texts, history, tradition, and even natural events and gives important commentary that is relevant to our day and to people of a variety of experiences.

Unlike other journeys, this tour is more of a scientific study. The events are arranged into twelve stations in five different parts. Throughout the tour, particular emphasis is placed on the Time that was appointed for a major shift in Human Development. In each inquiry, aspects of Solomon's attributes, pursuits, and evident accomplishments are examined to verify the facts and to peruse the neglected and overlooked. Besides historical and archeological exploration, there are searches in mathematics, geometry, chemistry, physics, and linguistics as well as religion, philosophy, and logic. For the readers, no prior knowledge of these areas is required as the materials are clearly illustrated and the proofs become self-evident along the tour. Readers can anticipate recollecting the joyful cause of Humanity anew. Readers can also prepare to be both charmed and delighted to realize how transforming was Solomon's reign, how valuable was his reason, and how good was his cause.

The Book "Paradise: Papyrus of Solamon," is beautifully and imaginatively written. In clever, sometimes humorous ways, the author weaves a story that enlightens even as she entertains. The book is dissimilar to all other publications, and no book yet existed has its style, topical coverage, and depth. It combines engaging prose with original ideas and builds bridges between the sciences, religion, and the humanities.

About the Author

Tolis, Doaa E.: - Author Doaa Tolis is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a Board Certified Pediatric Specialist who, though busy in her field, found herself on tour, tracing the journey of Human Development. The journey begins at the time Humans tried to recall memory but nothing came to mind, then travels through the passage of Time to the present day. Being an immigrant who had moved from Egypt to the United States nearly twenty years ago, a non-native speaker of the English language and an amateur writer who had abandoned the hobby of writing after graduating high-school writing was no easy task. Yet, Tolis decided it was time to document the search and resolved to string these words together to inform of the findings of the tour. In clever, sometimes humorous ways, Tolis weaves a story that enlightens even as she entertains.

Praise for this book

In "Paradise Papyrus of Solamon," author Doaa E. Tolis presents a tour through history focused on a "Land of Paradise" that turns out to be Egypt. Using the Quran, the Bible, and other sources, ancient and modern, she rewrites the last 6,000 years of history.

Tolis's narrative uses the framework of an actual tour. Focusing on events in the Mediterranean world, she presents an alternate world history centering on biblical, ancient history and influential figures, including Noah, Hesiod, Solon, Moses, and the hero of the story, Solomon (spelled "Solamon" throughout). King Solomon, per Tolis, presided over a golden age of wisdom, morality, and science that remains unsurpassed.

Tolis present a timeline that is different from the chronology proffered by both religious traditions and historical scholarship. She also states, contrary to biblical narrative, that Moses did not lead his people out of Egypt, but rather into it, crossing not the Red Sea but the Mediterranean from north to south. For Tolis, the Book of Job is not only about an individual and his misfortunes but about an age of disease that befell the entire world. She eventually brings the allegory to present day, discussing modern environmental woes and their causes.

Tolis writes in an oracular style that seems imitative of ancient writing. She also provides appendices with references and clarifications. The mood of Tolis's work is positive, and her tour framework is charming. The result is a narrative best read as a Tolkienesque fable that draws on history for its material.
