Where the Garden of Eden Actually Could Have Been

What happened to the Garden of Eden? This question has plagued many to go searching for the location of the fabled garden, and as such people have nominated places as crazy as Mars and Missouri as its source, while many scholars believe it never existed at all. Certain descriptions in Genesis leave only a few locations that fit the given criteria: the Armenian Highlands of Eastern Turkey (around where Noah might have landed after the flood), Northeast Africa (the ancestral home of man where Moses supposedly parted the Red Sea), and Jerusalem, even though the Bible describes Eden as east of Jerusalem.

Note that, as alluded to here, the Persian Gulf was a fertile valley at this approximate time. It did not fill in with sea water until the oceans rose 400 ft after the Younger-Dryas Event, after the Northern Ice Sheets melted. Or as some would call The Flood.

Fun fact, in Lebanon there is a city called 'Ehden', the name means 'the mountain's base and slope' in Aramaic. However, some residents believe the name actually comes from the Biblical Eden.

'In The Garden of Eden' was always my favorite hymn. Iron Butterfly really don't get enough play at the pew on Sundays, y'know?

This video was great. But what I mostly liked about it is that you were impartial and respectful to all people's beliefs about this matter. Much better than some of people in these comments.

Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal!
This time eating Bush's Best Barbeque Beans with a Fairbury Red Hot Dog, both inspired from "How the Backyard BBQ Became an American Pastime" video (from Weird History Food)...while watching this Weird History video!

@4:36 - Gilgamesh is known to be the first great hero and the poem Epic of Gilgamesh is considered to be "the first masterpiece of world literature" (Eastern Illinois University).
It is a Must Read!

I actually think, in the case of reasoning with the names of the four rivers, that it is quite risky to rely on those names. If the garden of Eden was an actual place that existed and humanity is thrust out of there, unable to return... it's quite possible to go to another area and name landmarks after what they knew in the garden of Eden. If we suppose the great flood did occur and was a large scale flood, it's also possible that the humanity of the bible ended up in an entirely different place from where they were and renamed landmarks after places they knew from home. Not to mention, geography can change vastly over time over even a couple thousand years, rivers can move due to all sorts of phenomena, and I saw a video recently that explained that only a couple thousand years ago, many places that are deserts today were receiving a lot more water back then... maybe we can account for a lot of these changes, but the point is the names might not actually be very reliable since there are a lot of reasons the wrong rivers could have the right names. Great video, lots of interesting info.

Great song by Iron Butterfield "In the Garden of Eden"
CCR's "There's a bathroom on the right!" and who could forget
Eddie Moneys "Two chickens to paralyze!"

There are lots of neolithic remains in Fertile Crescent. However, only *Harran Plain* is surrounded by T-shaped pillars. check the central pillars of enclosure D in Göbekli Tepe.

If you visit Qurna in Iraq, you will find Adam's tree at the point where the Tigris and Euphrates meets and marks the beginning of Shat Al Arab waterway emptying into Persian Gulf. A plaque infront of the tree reads that Abraham saw this tree and said it was the same tree that Adam eat from in the garden of Eden. I'm sure there are pictures of it online. I took lots when I went there.

Since I was 8 or 9, I've figured that Adam and Eve was a simplification of the first true human beings and the changing global environment, which made it necessary for humans to work harder to survive. When humans replaced instinct with the ability to think about the past and future and good or bad effects of their actions, that's when humans developed pride, selfishness, and other flaws and turned away from God. The idea of an "Eden" that had existed some place in the Middle East is still intriguing.

@0.03 - Love that image of the Garden of Eden!

[AndrewOnYoutube]

I was confused about which Genesis, so i'm glad you clarified

Another group I created in 2022 is Garden of Eden Society, a wildcraft group (the "gathering" part of Hunting and Gathering).

It is based off the idea that for 90% of human history we were hunters and gatherers and can easily find security in the practice again.
How cool would that be to develop both groups at the same time, would be like Nebraska and Michigan both winning the National Championship in 1998!

Similarly have one place Called NandanVana or NandanKanan in Hinduism
Which also called Terrestrial Garden of Gods(Devas)
Located in Heaven.it's similar with Biblical Garden of eden.

I'm sorry that this is unrelated, but is anyone else having a problem with these temu ads?? I have blocked so many of these ads and they are overtaking my videos ruining every video I watch. Is it just me?

0:45 - Sega Genesis is THE BOMB! I have a Sega Genesis Mini with 40 games on it and it is like a gift from heaven!

“The mind is its own place and, in itself can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven." I feel like this fits

@7:11 - It is just incredible how meaningful and cool their artwork was.
