Though I think there's a lot of Bunk about women being at fault for orginal sin, in that story. but then again if Adam and Eve lived today they'd be in a psyche ward. Their psycholgocal development wasn't up to what we are, and everyone was friends in Eden even the woman and the snake. So who wouldn't trust an old friend? How ever they also proposed this story borrowed from other cultures as well. This is an enigma to me.

I think this type of thing is a quaint way of popularizing archaeology for the masses of ignorant peasants who are concerned with bolstering their own beliefs in adult fairy tales.

There is a place called Eddin that is east of the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers in old Mesopotamia. Many people of that area still use Eddin as a name. Is it the proverbial Garden of Eden? It is geographically in the right location but maybe it is not the place of Adam and Eve. Will any of us ever find it and have the opportunity to return there? Not in this life time.

How could anyone possibly know if it was actually said garden? Was there a 5000 year old tree bearing fruit containing the knowledge of good and evil?
I'm a little confused how uncovering some past vegetation underwater relates to it "Being the Garden of Eden".

I didn't see the program, but I heard that the Garden of Eden was located in present day Iraq. Go figure?

The Persian Gulf seems like a fairly accurate place to me.

I watched that show, too. I found it to be sensationalized speculation mixed with small bits of archeology. I think most of their Biblical or Apocalypse shows are just for ratings, not scholarship.

I actually saw that show and I do not remember them actually finding EDEN. How could they possibly know, did it have a sign on it? If anything, it was a speculation and a place they felt could possibly be Eden.

The Garden of Eden was in Missouri. Check your religious history.

The biblical garden of Eden does exist, but no one can enter it until after Jesus returns.

it's a good thing they didn't find it...knowing us humans, we would have turned it into some sort of *disneyland* and charged admission. i can just see it...the merchandising; t-shirts with strategically placed fig leaves, stuffed snakes, plastic apples.....
and only the wealthy could afford to go there....
