Where did humans first appear..in Mesopotamia or in Africa? Was Garden of Eden in Ethiopia or Iran?

Answer 1

The Garden of Eden describes both the Tigris and Euphrates river which are located in Mesopotamia (NOT Iran, but Iraq), therefore Adam & Eve were created in Mesopotamia. That is what I believe.

Answer 2

First, you have to define "human". Being created from the "dust" of the earth, as the Bible alleges, can also be translated as from the "material", or "stuff" of the earth. Some theologies argue that "human" is a mixture of our mundane animal predecessors and the Divine, when God breathed the breath of life and gave man, who was before just an animal, an eternal spirit and made him "human". The story that Eve was created from Adam's rib seemed pretty ridiculous to science, till science caught up. We now know you can create a whole person from a single cell. A rib would have many millions. The first hominids appeared in Africa. As for the first humans, we don't know and haven't been told. All the Bible says is that God placed humans in the Garden. It doesn't say if they were created there, or moved from another place.

As for the Garden of Eden, it's location isn't mentioned. The Bible does mention four rivers in the Garden, including the Tigris and the Euphrates, which are in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq). The names of the other two rivers are unrecognized by modern man, and therefore their location is subject to conjecture. Since the Bible doesn't put a size or shape limit on the Garden, they could be the Nile, the Danube, or even the Rhine. We just don't know. We do know that at least part of the Garden was in Mesopotamia (one of the originating locations of civilization).

((I assumed your question was serious.))

Answer 3

GREATLY CHANGED SINCE THE FLOOD

Between the Tigris and Euphrates in Iraq below the Black Sea and Caspean Sea, but Above the Persian Gulf area. I say it was a large size area.

Gen.2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. Gen.2:11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; Gen2:12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. Gen.2:13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
Gen.2:14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

One of the rivers may have been underground in the time of David, the other unknown.
1KI.1:45,46; 2Ki.2:10:11; David was 1107 less age 70 to 1037 before Christ.

Answer 4

There was no garden of eden. The first human like creatures came out of Africa.

Answer 5

According to James Churchward, author of The Lost Continent of Mu, the first people (Adam and Eve) and the Garden of Eden were in the now-sunken continent of Mu (probably, the basis for the Greecian legend of Atlantis). Mu, according to Churchward, extended from somewhere north of Hawaii to the south as far as the Fijis and Easter Island, and was inhabitant to Naacals.
