Paradise Lost: The Controversial Hunt For The Garden Of Eden | Myth Hunters | Odyssey 

And her pink toenails at the end there...

@@squidink206 - I mean paining toenails is one thing but adding a belly button (which is a scar left over from being born of a woman) is a little tougher to pull off.

And now, a state-sponsored sect of religious zealots are blaming human action yet again!!! They are known as, the "C(lie)mate Change Cult". 😡

What is recorded in history isn't necessarily what really happened Chuck Missler and Gene Kim have the best information on the subject.

Well done you !

Credentials are overrated when it comes to history, sociology, economics etc. when it comes to breakthroughs in rewriting history, it's not going to be historians doing it.

​​​​​​@@SubvertTheState You're right, ofc, at least on the last bit. Zarins was an archeologist, not a historian. But the bible is mythology not history, and it should be interpreted scientifically, not subjectively

Hi there, Satan is the king of lies remember. Rough enough is not good enough. The great flood is real😮

@@StRaphael-we9qnwhy is there zero evidence for it then?

😂

The Scotty arm flapping technique is very effective at catching people's attention. 😅

Interesting theory 🤔

Why would it not ? People start thinking more objectively and factual. These stories are just " stories" without proof. So it is understandable and thankfully so ! Otherwise we'd be stuck in medieval knowledge.

Edan is Dilmun which in known now as Bahrain and the paradise within Bahrain formally Dilmun is Adhari

Bahrain? u got a nice smoke there. c'mon share some

@@vonallen1112 oh yeah party town, never sleeps, great beaches and a paradise for a single guy

True, but the garden of Eden isn’t; it’s just the origin myth of Abrahamic religions. Almost all religions have them, but AFAIK none of the other creation myths are taken literally

Like Chinese whispers

Siri theory, just like. Evolution Darwin. Was known as desgripe that was before the flood

Dr Gene Kim has the most knowledgeable information that I've ever listened to March 2015 2024 from Rochester New York

Well the Bible takes place on earth so ide assume they would be represented in some way in the Bible 😂

We just have their writings because of random chance that they wrote on clay which was unavailable elsewhere. We could never find paper or even parchment that is 4000+ years old and discount all civilizations we don't have direct writing from as 'myth'.

@@LTPottenger I understand that completely but their writings refer to older generations and civilizations as well as being able to build buildings, craft metal, domesticate both livestock and cereals, that just didn't appear and to suppose it happened simultaneously across the globe is ludacris at best... Recent discoveries like Gobekli tepe put high quality stone masons at he very least to be 12k yrs + into the past, and supposedly purposefully buried, which I find it extremely unlikely and more likely filled during some extreme flooding event akin to the US badlands geologic formation... So on the point of writing these clay tablets, that took extreme time as well, to develop and teach this language to the point of it becoming mundane and universal... Anyways the point being is just because it's the first writing the the rest of the supposed guardians of traditional archeology follow suit and declare it the begining of all civilization ? When clearly they point to others such as themselves that they conquered but their writings if they had them or not don't exist, so who's to say how long hat culture was around before they got waylaid by humans, nature or God... I'm just saying that if we suppose they're the first culture with writing why in God's name would they lie about their history, and their religions as well, why can't we assume these are telephone games played out over centuries and they do in fact have legit historical reference They have the same brains we do, we can only assume some were just as skeptical then as we are now ?

Yes, there are chacolithic period towns throughout the fertile crescent. There's been archeology going on at those sites for decades. Not sure why you think this hasn't been researched at all.

@@RobespierreThePoof I get the fact that there's constant excavations and digs all over the fertile crescent, while most have been put on hold or destroyed because of the chaotic nature the middle east has been since the dawn of tine apparently... I mean the flow of info and technology implies a far longer time period than the sudden rise all over the globe of similar civilizations, structurally speaking... Does human nature imply a social hierarchy where one class rules over another, in constant perpetuity? More to the point tho is the fact that regardless where on the planet you look, gold plays a significant factor, where did that come from, why is also ingrained into the human psyche ? I'm off the point again, I just don't see Sumer as the foundations when they themselves have stories of advanced culture and wars before they themselves existed... Why are these stories myths and allegories, we thought the same of Troy and many others... ?

@@RobespierreThePoof moreover, it's the sudden rise, and then the sudden collapse/destruction and/or abandonment of the megalithic structures and their builders, granted there's not a lot left to study besides the giant carved and placed stones... But to just ignore them for being outliers, does a huge dis-service to humanity's collective memory / history and future...

even the Wright Brothers' father said a few years before the first flight that flying is reserved for the angels

You can't have civilization without some form of writing.

@@badpossum440 You can have civilization without writing!!! most meso-american cultures doesn't had writing until the incas and mayans right before them the Olmecs were the msot advanced you still see their buildings, giant head statues and lived with the still mostly unknown cultures in the Chiapas and Oaxaca region. So your point is quite dumb....

-except Abraham didn't write Genesis. It was written before Abraham...

⁠​⁠@@flimsyjimnzno it wasn’t. Moses wrote the Pentateuch

Abraham and Sarah were not real people - they are Semitized word forms of Brahma and Saraswati (deities, not real persons).

​​​@@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.

@@parjanyashukla176 Israeli and international archaeologists would definitely disagree with you and certainly dispute your argument…and they are SECULAR scholars, so there’s no bias.

It's absolutely literature ... But various literary styles created over the course of six centuries. It's really a shame how little appreciated it is. I don't find that Christians actually read it to see it for what it is. Jews come a bit closer to that but the religious bias still distorts the perception. I wish writing was invited earlier ... During the neolithic. Think of all the trouble that would have prevented when it comes to the Bible

Hundreds of millions of years ago before even dinosaurs existed.

You have a religion. God. Whe the time comes, you'll know him. 😉 No replies will be seen. Case closed

@@mywifesboyfriend5558 Don’t patronise me. I make my own decisions not to believe in a sky faerie. I may as well believe that Bilbo Baggins is a real omnipresent being.

It is fascinating. This is real academic research. I find it very tiresome when doubters just roll their eyes and look at people who find a basis in the origins of these stories as gullible simpletons who believe in fairy tales.

@@jameshogan6142 So very true. The vast majority of us value science and believe it can support Biblical accounts.

@@shelleyhender8537 Correct. I remember being taught in High School by our geography teacher that rivers and lakes are not permanent features of the landscape and appear and disappear according to weather, climate changes, earthquakes, volcanic activity etc.

@@jameshogan6142 I too was fortunate to have an extremely talented high school geography teacher who introduced the explanation of disappearing lakes and rivers…but…I really became fascinated by geography at university, when I took it as an elective for credits towards my archaeology degree. It truly helps when we have knowledgeable educators willing to go the extra mile! You obviously value education…something I believe is important throughout our lives. As you texted me, I was watching a series on CBC focusing on the contributions of the Canadian military in WWII. My grandfathers were veterans, so I try to learn as much as I can. I think some of us are naturally inclined to be lifelong learners.

He forgets that the bible does say every one pre-flood had the same language

This is known. You can research it in geological maps of the upper-paleolithic period.

@@RobespierreThePoof -- I don't trust much coming out of secular science...especially concerning biblical history. They'll do anything to disprove biblical events...even lie...

It never shifted past the red sea.. so that's kind of impossible

We don't know that and that's allright a tleast we know the oldest use so far...

Billions of people with no first hand account and only a book to tell them?

I'm not sure if he is correct but he makes a compelling argument. Especially with the concept of the water's flowing out of that part of the world as opposed to this theory that they're moving towards what is the Persian Gulf.

I like how you just make all this up and then say it like it is obviously so. Meanwhile, there is a guy named Juris who spends his whole life looking for evidence with which to build and support his premise.

Sooo..why cant it be both ..and a means for humans to obtain heaven?

Interesting theory. Proof?

Hmmm...well tell that to the Angel guarding the entrance... He's been there quite some time...and he'll be interested in your ideas....😂😂

You have to consider everything in a broad context. For example comparing the lush paradise to the loss experienced when the gulf was flooded is like the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden. 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

I thought im the only one who realize that since i was 9

But once the water receded comes back in to the same ol place.like the spot your standing on now is post flood land.

That’s what I was going to say!!!!

@@_cReAtioN_StATioN yes that’s true. Also remember the flood included water from the deep oceans. There would have been huge tsunamis everywhere. Burying everything in mud. Look at the Grand Canyon for example. Or on a smaller scale, Mt Saint Helens. The layers from landslides buried in a lot of places hundreds of feet deep. Imagine the flood waters of Noah’s day, everything was pushed up or buried.

@@_cReAtioN_StATioN No, because the continents were pushed apart during the flood. Volcanoes were going off the earth was pulled apart, it was chaos!

Lol they had no choice in the matter back then. They had to show up in church. Besides the term "god" is a job description.

Science isn't replacing something that doesn't exist

Science is real and God is not.

@@barbaraarndt5293 "Science is -real- _physical_ and God is -not- _spiritual_ ." Fixed your sentence for you. This is why many religious men have also been scientist, as one does not conflict with the other. One has nothing to do with each other. They can both co-exist together with no issues.

Hard to replace anything which is actually a fantasy? And the so called religious men? How deep was their faith or did they avoid to be burnt at the stake. Even the present Pope is not so sure.

Take a look in the mirror l, Mr. Wonka

Your comment shows a high level of stupidity also

Can't you read? Eden isn't a normal place. Plus there are cherubim and a flashing sword guarding the way

i totally agree ,like we can prove dinosaures were here before man,long before. or nohas ark,like comon really,every specie of animal.,insect bird!

​@@br.m 😂😂😂😂

@@br.mwell that makes perfect sense. 😂
