The Garden of Eden is recognized in the three Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. But some other religions and cultures have creation stories containing a similar concept to the biblical Garden of Eden that date back much further in history than the Old Testament. And while most scholars readily acknowledge the more ancient sources for the Book of genesis, the vast majority of Jews and Christians seem either unaware of the roots of their own religions and/or have little interest if any in learning that truth.

Seems like we know more about so called outerspace than we do about our own oceans. Like they know more about when mars lost ita atmosphere than how long antartica has been frozen or broke off of Pangaea. . they say that the devil's biggest trick is convincing us that he doesnt exist but what if his biggest trick is convincing the world that he is God
Enlil wanted to kill us all but enki wanted to save mankind
What about the radar images from Mauritanian desert that show ancient rivers buried? Could this be where the Garden of Eden lies?
