I have heard a version of this. During the ice age, the fertile.crescent was very fertile. People could gather plenty of grain in a short amount of time and there was plenty of game to hunt. Artifacts from the period are well made and artistically decorated. As the glaciers receded, sea levels rose and the weather became dryer. People had to work harder to get enough food. They learned to cultivate and irrigate. Food came by the sweat of their brows. The change is lamented and human action is blamed.

What no archeologist has yet to explain is that if you're the supposed first culture, and civilization... Who in the hell are you trading with ? They suppose the sudden rise of Sumer, but fail to mention that the Sumerians themselves acknowledge other cities, possibly predating their own, and they waged war pretty quick as far as history goes; against other cultures and city states, how can this be if yours is the first culture and presumably you should rule the world with your advanced technological civilization, who could mount a resistance ?

Garden of Eden is a mythological and symbolical and archetypical place. It exists within us. It cannot be found on the physical earth. The expulsion from Eden tells us about how we are separated from our inner garden of Eden and it means the garden of pleasure / blessing / delight . The expulsion in fact tells us how we are sepatated from God.

Imagine having all of that verdant fertile area being swept away by the Gulf becoming flooded (The great flood in Genesis)and having to try to grow crops in the arid hinterland to the north. Soft herbaceous plants are now replaced by thorny cactus plants which are adapted to survive the harsh arid climate. As in Genesis they earn their bread by the sweat of their brow and the land is difficult to cultivate and grows thorns and briars instead of all of those exotic fruit trees which once flourished.@@highendservicesbarrieont8347

The four rivers' headwaters came together just north of Kuwait. The Gihon river flows south from Iran, and the Pishon river runs east across Arabia. They merge together and flow down through the garden and into a reedy estuary. Thus, Eden began in Kuwait and went south into what is now the Persian Gulf.

​​​@@parjanyashukla176this is the difference the world doesn't seem to understand: Abraham has always been a montheist. This clearly suggests that there were people in the area that believed in ONE, TRUE, ETERNAL, and TMELESS God, that doesn't change. Hinduism, is the opposite, and comprises of various gods, which then beings confusion as to who the Messiah will come from. There are also no prophecies about Jesus in accorsance with Brahma, so that doesnt make any sense. On the contrary, there are prophecies of Jesus in the old testament, starting from Abraham. Just because Brahma,and Abraham sound similar, they are not. We need to stop assuming that similar names refer to the same person. Otherwise, history would be a complete mess if we relied on that. Lastly, the Bible is a mix of 3 things.... REAL previous history, current affairs of the time, and future prophecies that are to last till the END of time. The latter, has been fulfilled in the last 2000 years, and still continues to be fulfilled as the world hasn't ended yet. This is not a mere book. JESUS was prophesied including his mission on earth (to set captives free from the lies and the captivity of the enemy, which clearly has taken over to blind people to this extent FOR MILLENIUMS.) It is a continuous story that has matched up, and everything they said Jesus would do before he was even born, he DID! Including where he would be born, AND HIS LINEAGE! So no, Abraham is not the hindu god, Brahma as that completely distorts Jesus lineage and purpose to fulfill the will of YAWEH, the one true and only God. Read the Bible in that sense; as a book that shows you the purpose of this world. Other than thay, you cannot unserstand it. You will then know, the importance of the Old Testament. OT was written by authors who didn't meet, lived hundred of years apart, but foretold the coming of the Jesus. That's why there are several books mostly written about genealogy in the OT. The Messiah had to come from a particular lineage, a monotheistic lineage, that believed in the God of the Bible. This is the only way Jesus mission would be fulfilled. This was to ensure that no false Messiahs, or no confusion is made. But it seems even with all that effort, the world is confused! The old testament, with its genealogy and belief in YAHWEH ALONE, is how we know we are talking of Christianity and not Hinduism in the Bible. I bring this up so you can understand that Jesus was chosen to come from a particular lineage. The lineage of Abraham, which was chosen by God, and foretold he would be the father of all nations (Chrisitianity would encompass all nations, through his descendant, Jesus and we are watching thay happen across this globe.) Again, Bible prophecy must be fulfilled. It will happen no other way. Sorry but that means even Brahma has nothing to do with the Bible.

Interesting video, I would be interested to know more about the geologic history of the area, wish I could had a sit down with him to discuss this. Geoffrey Bibby was actually first to propose that Dilmun, which he identified with Bahrain, as the prototype of the biblical Eden in the 50s. He wrote a book on his theory, Searching for Dilmun, in 1961.

I started watching this very cautiously afraid it would be weird or make quantum leaps ot something like that. But no, this fits extremely well with things I already knew to make a ton of sense. I had focused on the Great Rift Valley since I was making a connection to Africa. I would like to expand a bit more on exactly where they got the information that Cush was in that particular mountain range just for curiosities sake. I may have to dig for a book or something on this. I was very aware that of course Babylon & Sumer had to be a root source since Abraham is supposed to have come from Ur. I had run into those connections eons ago. Oddly enough I has thought that if Eden was a place at all it would likely be under water. Just because these stories seem to go back to a time of Ice Age not the actual creation of the Universe. Oral mythology or history always seems to carry a memory thread to actual events somehow. I think these stories began as oral history then later were applied to newer revelations about the spiritual world most cultures seem to sense. This just ties things I had read or sensed & puts something quite real to it.

Adam and Eve defy evolution and they’re looking for the garden of Eden?! This is ludicrous.

48:45 Ancient Egyptians also swapped north and south with regards to discussing the direction in which the river Nile flowed.

I have seen some people associate Dilmun (or Tilmun, depending on translation) associated with Bahrain. I think it may been Bauval and Hancock, although it may have been David Rohl.

The Garden of Eden is a myth, but one we have all experienced. The Garden of Eden was the womb and birth was the expulsion from the Garden of Eden.

Sometimes any story normally has some truth and just because you try to prove something with science doesn’t make it real or not. My guess is that most things ancient have some truth but that doesn’t mean it’s what you think. It’s hard sometimes to explain things to people that have never seen it.

now seriously. The level of stupidity that goes along with people of faith is truly shocking. If God had actually cast the original people, the original man and woman out of Eden.

How can the biblical scholar John day use the Bible to disprove the location of Eden? Firstly like many Bible stories they are borrowed, rewritten and changed to fit their own narrative Second there are many versions of the Bible giving varying accounts of these stories. One could say up river, one down river, one with no mention of direction But the third and most important point is that there has been a large amount of grammatical errors when translating these stories into Hebrew and other languages resulting in names, places, phrases, sentences and large parts of stories being incorrect. If the direction of a river is john days strongest argument to dispute Zarins and his teams work then he's failed miserably and indirectly shown how solid their evidence is.

The rivers listed in Genesis are found in the mid-oceanic trenches and those four rivers end in The Phillipines also known as Ophir or Havillah. The Garden is under The Sulu Sea. kzread.info/head/PLru2qbCMGOi6Xt-ts2C1QVz-ZnAZxicWJ&si=dvwVctIFH1ZAww6I

And if there were 2 original humans, they must have lived in a garden of paradise with enough food for the to survive and prosper and have children, who survived and prospere, - or else we would not be here now. So the garden of paradise must be true, wherever it was. It would be interesting to look and maybe find it's location.
