Biblical Archaeology: Eden

I reuploaded this video because I got the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in the opposite places. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Note* It is true the Hebrew word for headwaters mostly refers to the head of something, but the root word has so many meanings from head, chief, ends, divisions, companies, top, ridge, best, etc.
biblehub.com/hebrew/7218.htm
Needless to say, but the Hebrew is not necessarily referring to a place where one river splits to form 4 but can be referring to the reverse. The same can be seen with the word yatsa. It can mean to go out or came out: biblehub.com/hebrew/3318.htm

Your explanation of this is great. The place being lost to a flood tempts me to think of the other event.

[@seranonable]

When the last ice age ended, there was apocalyptic flooding across the world and sea levels rose by permanently by 400 feet. Doggerland (a widespread human civilization on the now-underwater plain between the UK and Europe) was completely destroyed, the Sumerians had to flee their homeland by sea to settle in Mesopotamia, and many low-lying paradises like the gulf river valley was drowned. I still laugh when people refer to the flood as a "myth shared across many cultures"... sheer theophobic ignorance. Even the most bitter atheist should be able to admit that the flood was no myth, those so-called lovers of science.

[@sethwilliams4060]

One crucial bit of information to consider; Eden was an antediluvian location. Man in post-flood times saw rivers that resembled the tigris and eurphrates rivers from before the flood and named them accordingly.

[@andriesscheper2022]

A vegan paradise never existed. Nor did Adam or Eve. Humanity wasn't thrown out of Eden directly into agriculture with it's domestication of animals. A worldwide flood that rose above mountains never happened. Virgins don't get pregnant. Humans do not walk on water, and Jesus didn't know a trick called resurrection, unless it was a trick indeed, and the bold result of a conspiracy in which maybe even Pilatus was involved. That's what we call common sense. But please: feel absolutely free to enjoy your god and afterlife. Just if you can show me a soul without a brain and body.

It is. Just because the garden of Eden doesn’t describe a literal place in the physical or historically factual sense, that does not automatically mean that it wasn’t a literal place. Now, to be clear, by “not literal” I’m not necessarily saying that it’s a metaphor, and I’m certainly not saying that it was purely fictitious; it just wasn’t physical, as many materialist-minded Protestants incorrectly believe it to be. Rather, it was metaphysical and transcendent. The Garden of Eden describes a spiritual, divine human state of being that all humans once shared. Not a physical, geographical location.

This spring is therefore to be regarded as the "upper water course of Gihon." from this "fountain" a tunnel cut through the ridge which forms the south part of the temple hill conveys the water to the pool of Siloam, which lies on the opposite side of this ridge at the head of the Tyropoeon, or valley of the son of Hinnom, now filled up by rubbish.(2 Chronicles 32:30), many other versus.

I always wonder about the time and the origin of the biblical accounts. Long ago, I worked in an Ecumenical Center of Studies (São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), where I knew Milton Schwantes, a great Lutheran biblist (unhappily he passed away some years ago). I always remember Schwantes's wise thoughts, whose hermeneutic method always highlighted or suggested the strong relations of the Bible with a "deep memory” of Middle East's ancient populations. As such, Schwantes looked for narrative clues frequently with support in historiographical and geographical scenarios, very important to know the biblical times and the meaning of texts that for me at least, have divine inspiration. In this sense, this video is magnificent because does a consistent exposition about the ancient environmental landscape of Mesopotamia and besides, does a go over very well structured of the biblical Hebrew (I would like to do a mentions about the wonderful video's images: lush forests, light, and mist, springs, and rivers, the ocean, always joined with absolutely reliable cartographical snapshots). Moreover, these pieces of information are explained and intertwined with concerning to highlight Eden's prototypical geographic position, an issue that the video shows with strong reliability. This likelihood is not a fairy tale and therefore, deserves all attention of people that respect the biblical accounts. Matching all these ideas whit elegancy, this material outperforms the simplistic interpretations that unfortunately are very common in the biblical field. This video is a good option for everybody people that want better biblical knowledge and a commitment to truth.

Im not Cristian but damn, this is a very good knowledge

[@MrPotatoPants326]

It’s “Christian”. And by saying that, you clearly down realize what religion is or what Christianity actually is. Christianity is the belief of Jesus Christ as the Savior for all of us sinners. If you trust in him, he can save you from your sins and you can go to Heaven. Don’t get this confused with Catholics because they’re different. Christianity is the best one as it refers strictly on the Bible and what God says. If you’re an atheist, don’t be because you’ll go to hell and lemme explain. Atheist believe in the scientific impossibility that everything came from nothing. If your questioning how God was made then, God is beyond our understanding and He is everlasting and has always been here. We cannot grasp that knowledge because we’re not smart enough as humans. You WILL go to hell if you don’t trust in Jesus. He literally died for you. He payed the price for you. Saying that you don’t believe in hell doesn’t mean anything and isn’t going to change anything. That’s like going to a judge and saying that your not going to jail because you don’t believe in it. If I haven’t scared you enough I’ll explain the place your going to if you die and you didn’t trust in Jesus. Hell is an everlasting pit of fire full of demons that will rip apart your body over and over. Your body will go back together just so you can feel the pain all over again. You can’t breath very well at all or see. You will be stuck there forever. I do not want you to go to hell nor anyone else. Please trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. I know as a teenager or kid your in that phase of life where you think religion and all this stuff is stupid and isn’t real. Trust me I was in the same position. “There’s no proof at all that God is real or any of that stuff” you might say “If God were real how come he doesn’t come down and save us”. Those are common moral questions people use as an excuse. Don’t fall for them as society tries to grab you. There’s many miracles that you can even see today for yourself that God has done. God doesn’t come down and save us because that wouldn’t be fair. God is all perfect and just. Forcing people to come with God wouldn’t be fair and then we wouldn’t have free will. These questions are common questions that are false and just trying to give an excuse. Look, trust in Jesus Christ and accept him to pay for your sins. I’m not asking you to become religious or pray 10 times a day, I’m asking you to trust in Jesus so I can see you in Heaven.

Curiously the river in Eden is not named, the most important river. There was an ice age going on at the time that lowered the sea level 120 meters and exposed the bottom of the Persian Gulf. As such the mountains of the Kassites were probably snow covered if not ice bound. The rivers would be very short and thus not flowing through the land. If there were enough monsoons from the Indian Ocean to keep the Pishon flowing, then they would have been more intense to the south which was called Cush in ancient times. The river running from there would be called the Gihon.

[@DavidEdelsohn]

The hypothesis to locate Eden in the prehistoric plain beneath the Persian Gulf seems to have originated in mid-1980's by Professor Juris Zarins of Southwest Missouri State University. David Rohl proposes a neighboring region to the north in Tabriz, Iran. Rohl equates the Gihon and Pishon with the Araxes and the Ulzhun rivers, equating the Noqdi with the land of Nod and Kheruabad with the land of the Cherubim. Rohl also refers to the Sumerian epic Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta, which refers to the plain of Edin, arguably an ancient reference to Eden by other, early groups of the region.

Hi! I'm a hebrew speaker and there is a small mistake that was made at around 4:46 you said that כוש without the vowel sounds something like KSH but actually if you take that word and pronounce it without vowels it would be KVSH, this is because the letter ו can be read as either v, o or u. And it cannot be silent as many other letters in hebrew that can be silent. Either you pronounce it like a vocal or you pronounce it like a v. Also the hebrew in 5:56 is verly poorly translated and the words in english don't match with the words in hebrew.

And the second one is really misleading. ראש (rosh) means head in Kings too - the upper 'end' of the pole, meaning the higher end, as is our own head. Rosh never means 'end' in Hebrew.

This is an excellent, compact summary of the case that the Garden of Eden existed in the Gulf Oasis (present-day Persian Gulf) during the last ice age. Whether the flooding of the Gulf was the same event as Noah's flood is an open question, although it is perhaps a good candidate. I've been studying this issue for a while. It would seem to dovetail with the views of Reasons to Believe, and Sentinel Apologetics (Robert Rowe). I'm disappointed to see so many Christians who are married to a YEC/Global Flood view.

[@Mikethebeaner12345]

@Daniel Paulson actually you would be surprised how many of us have the exact same belief. For instance, here alone where I am at, there are mormons, jehovah's witness, seventh day Adventist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Methodist, light of the world, Baptist, calvinist, pentecostals. Historically, mormons, jehovah's witness, and seventh day Adventist are sects of christianity, meaning they diverge from historical christianity in things like jesus isn't God, they have to do certain things to be saved, and other different view points that make them a class of their own. The rest, all believe in the trinity, but they differ in certain in-house things, like whether to baptize kids, do you truly have free will or predestined some celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving, while others celebrate everything, then you have those that just choose not to because of the roots of those celebrations, but inherently it doesn't mean you lose your salvation. Then within pentecostals, which are the people who heal and gifts of the spirit, their are genuine people who do, but they are no names who are surprisingly humble and just keep to themselves, and then you get the others who exploit the church and all that terrible stuff. Yes I am a follower of Jesus, but when it comes down to it, the majority of denominations, with exception to the ones that don't hold to historical christianity (deny the diety of jesus, or the holy spirit, works based salvation) and Catholicism and orthodox (they have things added throughout historical and beyond the biblical definition of christianity such as devotion to Mary and the saints) the disagreements and differences are largely cultural liturgy, and their interpretation of the bible not in the basic doctrine, (trinity, salvation, redemption, judgment) but in the areas that are truly hard to fully grasp like whether we're truly have free will or are we predestined. Blah blah blah unimportant stuff. Anyway I know it was a lot buuuuuttt the grain of it is that we humans just suck at agreeing together in general.

[@Mikethebeaner12345]

@Daniel Paulson christianity is the continuation of Judaism, sadly they don't see it like that, Islam, is the descendants of Ishmael and Edom, Ishmael was the brother of isaac, and edom the brother of Jacob, God chose isaac and Jacob therefore the whole battle is that Islam wants the birthright back, even though they weren't chosen. Thing is even before modern day conflicts, the bible actually predicts that Ishmael would be against his brother, likewise edom. Furthermore Edom married the daughter of Ishmael.
