Why was the version of Lilith as the first person on Earth lost?

“

The truth of creation is that woman came first, a reality buried by the pride of man who could not accept a world where he was not the origin.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the Lilith-as-first-human account was buried by male chauvinism: men’s pride couldn’t accept woman preceding man, so they rewrote the myth to place Adam first and patched the logic with the absurd ‘rib’ story because man lacks a womb. He deems the original—woman first—natural and true, and rejects the patriarchal revision.
Men didn’t like the idea that a woman came first, so they changed the story and invented Adam’s rib.
