A study provides a window into the first 100,000 years of the history of modern humans. The real Garden Of Eden has been traced to the African nation of Botswana, according to a major study of DNA. Scientists believe our ancestral homeland is south of the Zambezi River in the country's north.
The location of Eden is described in the Book of Genesis as the source of four tributaries. Various suggestions have been made for its location: at the head of the Persian Gulf, in southern Mesopotamia where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers run into the sea; and in Armenia.
The area around Knysna is a veritable Garden of Eden. This is the home of the only forest elephant in South Africa; the rare Pansy Shell; the brilliantly coloured and elusive Knysna Loerie; a plethora of waterfowl and forest birds; dolphins and visiting whales.
The Bible says a river ran from Eden and separated into four rivers: Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, and Euphrates. The latter two still exist, and speculation places the first two in the same region — ancient Mesopotamia (“between the rivers”), or what is currently known as Iraq, just north of the Persian Gulf.
The Garden of Eden was a land planted by God in the east before the Flood (Genesis 2:8; Siegfried Horn, The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Dictionary 302-3). East? Does it mean it was somewhere in the Middle East? Unfortunately, the Bible doesn't mention in which region or country it was exactly located.
Thus the Garden of Eden was originally the Garden of Aten (Akhenaton's god) at Amarna in Middle Egypt. The book also demonstrates that Hebrew is a direct descendant of the ancient Egyptian language, and that the Bible was written in Egyptian.
The Adamic language, according to Jewish tradition (as recorded in the midrashim) and some Christians, is the language spoken by Adam (and possibly Eve) in the Garden of Eden.
For centuries, scholars and historians have been searching for the location of this legendary garden. However, the search has always been inconclusive until recently. The Garden of Eden has finally been found, and it is a groundbreaking discovery that has the potential to rewrite history.
The Tree of Life is a spruce tree found along the craggy Pacific coastline of Olympic National Park. While the park has countless spruces in its fairytale forests, the Tree of Life is unique in that it's located on the edge of a sandy bluff- and actually between two cliffs.
Rivers of Paradise (also The four rivers of Paradise) are the four rivers described in Genesis 2:10-14, where an unnamed stream flowing out of Garden of Eden splits into four branches: Pishon, Gihon, Hiddekel (Tigris), and Phrath (Euphrates).
Cush, Cushitic and Cushi
Although debates still exist among scholars as to whether Cush, as a geographical location, refers to Africa or Mesopotamia, I am of the opinion that where Cush is used in the entire Old Testament, it refers to nowhere but Africa and persons of African ancestry (Adamo 1986; 2005:14).

The land known as Canaan was situated in the territory of the southern Levant, which today encompasses Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, Jordan, and the southern portions of Syria and Lebanon.
Genesis 3:3 simply calls it “ the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden.” The biblical 'forbidden fruit' was of course the apple.
Heaven is a place of peace, love, community, and worship, where God is surrounded by a heavenly court and other heavenly beings. Biblical authors imagined the earth as a flat place with Sheol below (the realm of the dead) and a dome over the earth that separates it from the heavens or sky above.
Thaddeus' illustration mentioned above is based on Gen 2:10: “A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers.” They were the Pishon, the Gihon, the Tigris and the Euphrates. The picture abounds with features.
The iconic baobab tree, which graces many of Africa's national parks and reserves, is indeed a majestic bastion of the African savannah. A large concentration is found in Tanzania's Tarangire National Park, unofficially known as the “baobab capital of the world”.
The magnificent baobab tree (Adansonia digitata) is an icon of the African continent. With bark and fruit offering over 300 life-sustaining uses, it is the root of many Indigenous remedies, traditions, and folklore. Hence its literal nickname, 'The Tree of Life.
In the small southern Iraqi city of Qurna, an unusual shrine stands on the shore of the Tigris: a small, dead tree, protected by low brick walls and surrounded by a concrete plaza. This tree is, according to local legend, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the one that Eve ate from in the Garden of Eden.
The Book of Genesis gives a clue that the Garden of Eden is located in southern Mesopotamia, now known as Iraq.
The reputed home of the biblical Garden of Eden, Iraq's swamplands have been battered by three years of drought. To feed and cool his buffaloes, Hashem Gassed must cross 10 kilometers (6 miles) of sunburnt land in southern Iraq, where drought is devastating swathes of the mythical Mesopotamian Marshes.
God cast them out of the Garden of Eden to the earth. Eve landed in Jeddah, and Adam in Sri Lanka. After making a pilgrimage to Mecca, Adam finds Eve in Mecca and establishes the sanctuary there as a substitute for the Garden of Eden.
This is a question that is often asked, but the Bible doesn't specifically answer it. However, there are some Scripture hints that lead to several possible answers. The most obvious answer is that we'll speak the language God taught to Adam and Eve as he walked and talked with them in Genesis 3:8.
1. Egyptian – 2690 BC (circa. 4700 years old) The first known language ever was a proto-language on the African continent, and the first known proto-writing system was created in Nigeria. So, it is perhaps no surprise that the oldest language on this list is also from and used in Africa – Egyptian.
Their own particular ethnicity is not even mentioned, for the Bible seems to stress that they are the mother and father of all peoples of all ethnicities. Adam and Eve are presented as non-ethnic and non-national because they represent all people of all ethnicities.
