The Garden of Eden was in Iran, not Iraq. Genesis clearly describes the Garden of Eden as a valley near the headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers - that is in the mountains of northern Iran, not the Persian Gulf. The Pison and Gihon rivers, along with the valley, and the land of Kush, are all still located in northern Iran, as is the land of Nodz, "east of Eden," where Cain settled. In fact, there is actually a modern Iranian village built in the valley that was once the Garden of Eden, and the primitive inhabitants of the region were called the "Cheru" (the same "Cheru-bim" who stood between Adam and the Garden after the Fall).

"Edin" replaced into the Sumerian word for fertile grassy undeniable, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates. like the flood tale, the backyard of Eden replaced into lifted from Sumerian mythology. it extremely is not any longer an unusual prepare as lots of the european nationwide myths are only historical Greek and Roman thoughts remodeled. Even the Romans felt the could borrow from an older lifestyle to offer themselves status and lineage. They made the unique place of beginning of the Romans Troy. people who write nationwide myths desire to offer the story and the folk some status via linking them to older cultures. it extremely is what the writers of Genesis did. additionally they made the daddy of their u . s . a ., Abraham, come from a Sumerian city which they referred to as Ur of the Chadeans, even however the Chaldeans did no longer get to Ur for variety of 800 years after the meant beginning of Abraham. So the story of Eden replaced into based via the originators in Mesopotamia, that's now Iraq, and borrowed via the writers of Genesis, who did no longer understand the Sumerian meaning of the word.

What has one got to do with the other? That does not make any sense.
