Mysteries of the Garden of Eden 3/5

[sapiensape]

This TV documentary errs, Gilgamesh dived into a sea and at its bottom brings up a plant which if eaten will make an old man like a young man, so it is not a fruit from a tree in a garden, and it does not confer immortality, only youthfulness. While bathing a serpent appears and eats the plant, shedding its skin, it becomes young again. Gilgamesh laments his loss at a chance at youthfulness again.

Want to finally see the REAL Garden of Eden? I'm the guy discovered it. Check out my videos to see. Also see what other amazing things I found !!

I cringe when they say "in Africa, or EVEN China"....actually, one is much more likely to discover history in China, then anywhere below the Sahara.

People from Mesopotamia, are Semitic, Akkadians, Sumerians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Chaldeans, Hebrews etc.they were all the same people different tribes, nobody stoled anything, they share the same history, culture and languages. The bible tells you very clear that Abraham the father of the Jews, came out of Ur in Sumer the southern tip of Mesopotamia, what is now southern Iraq, the same place as Gilgamesh. So I'm not surprise that Genesis will have the same story as the Epic of Gilgamesh

@Schwarzkald Finally someone who realizes that Abraham didnt steal a story that was already his because of birth.

@Schwarzkald Widely considered to be the cradle of civilization, Bronze Age Mesopotamia included Sumer and the Akkadian, Babylonian and Assyrian empires. The Israelites first appear as a people in the 13th century BCE (dvd "Bibles Buried Secrets: Israelite Origins" and "The Bible Unearthed". If you are referring to the nomadic Habiru and Shasu, neither was around before 1800BCE. Outside of the Bible, where are you getting the information placing the Hebrews before 2000BCE?

In persian history says that Gihon river was in the north east of Iran and this river has a long history in Iranian Geography. This river was dried out and I think no more exist. It use to be near the Sihon river which is also in north east of Iran. When Mongols attack Persia, the prince of Persian Jalal ad-din Khorramshah could run from them on his horse back while the horse took him to the other side of Gihon river. In Farsi which is persian language, these rivers are called J-hon and Sey-hon

the oldest civilization and most unspoken of is my ancestors the indus people, compare the history of the indus, mayans , egypt and the bible, people should seek the answers to these questions by learning everything and using your own mind, another mans thoughts cannot always be the truth .... nobody can prove what is true and what is a myth but your heart will show you the path you seek

[hyams1]

[issareign]

There are also flood stories from North America. How could these legends have copies each other when they lived on completely different continents? A better explanation is that they are based on real events.

[mike198595]

@SonnyDelight55 of course there was a great flood most cultures around the world have legends of it and it is also proven by scientists to have happened.

[keruwbnathiyb]

These scholars who claim the Hebrews took from the Sumerians. Act as if they don't understand that the worship of Yahweh wasn't established until Abraham. Of course its going to look like the Hebrews stole from the Sumerians! But what about the cuneiform tablets dating back to Hammurabi transliterated by AH Sayce. Didn't he say those tablets had Yahweh's name on it. Clearly there were a handful of Yahweh worshipers living amongst these Sumerian/Akkadian pagans.

[keruwbnathiyb]

In this video they say Gilgamesh learned that the garden of Eden was destroyed by a flood. However Gilgamesh finds remnants of the garden and the fruit. My question is how can they jump from that to "The Genesis account may have be taken from early Sumerian mythology". It seems to me that the Sumerians ,Akkadians and what became the Hebrews all knew the same themes, and were doing nothing more then interpreted it into their own opinion.

@keruwbnathiyb doesnt most cultures like the mayas, incas, aztects, the romans took from the greeks the japanese took from the chinese and even today america takes cultures from all over the world.
