False. Male circumcision was common all over the Middle East as far back as ancient Egypt. The Judaic tradition traces to the patriarch Abraham, whom historians place no later than the 6th century BC, possibly as far back as 2000 BC. Claiming introduction ca 200 AD is laughable.
it is embarrassing for you to parade your ignorance in this way. all jewish sources recognize the change to Periah from Milah circumcision in this period. placing Abraham in the 6th century BC is absurd even by a literalist, fundamentalist reading of OThttps://www.i2researchhub.org/articles/brit-milah-a-study-of-change-in-custom/ …

I can't answer for why historians place Abraham as having lived some time between 2000 BC and 600 BC. But that's what they have determined.
