know a fair amount of exotic mushrooms and various flowers.

Paul was, supposedly, in Corinth when he wrote those letters. Corinth
is definitely not a desert. I can't discount the thought that he may
have been high and/or having a flashback however.

thing is fasting in a desert type environment does leave one
susceptible to that type of hallucination. And also given that at that

Current scholarship places the original writings between 50-150 AD,
with the Pauline letters dated the earliest, and II Peter the latest.
None of the originals survive.
50 AD is only a slightly over a decade after then crucifixion of
Christ, not 300+ years.

You should give it a read sometime. It is a principle Gnostic gospel,
