Thank you very much.This is so clarifying.I hope the religious fanatics don't spoil this.It is high time we put the puzzle of the past together so we understand who & what has happened & why we don't learn this sort of thing at school.Our brains need this kind of 'food' badly.They don't function on mainstream 'knowledge'.Best of luck to you !

@Ace4Tree1 Public schools serve a community of faith which would take offense if their children were taught the Bible is based on myths as understood by some PhD scholars in universities. To pacify this community of faith the subject is not brought up and is passed over in silence (in other words it is _suppressed_ in service of fostering religious belief). The only exception to this accomodation to religion is the subject of Science and Darwinism which many Scientists accept.

Wow,this is very informative.People want things this way because it is written in a book.Books can be wrong because man edits them and changes them over time.

i don't know why people keep mistaking and repeating the mistake of putting the tigris river in the garden of Eden, in genesis Moses never ever mentioned tigris for nothing, he mentioned Eufrates, Pishon,Gihon and Hiddekel. I'm not even sure if the Tigris is ever mentioned even in the Bible!

@AloofPeregrine Thanks for the compliment! dito on the rhetoric. And I can tell I wasn't informing you as to a veiw you hadn't yet considered. Rather I was "playing with ideas" because truly, for as many that felt liberated by a sedentary, there were just as many that felt enslaved by the confines. Human nature. In fact, I recently read an article/study that argued a hunter/gatherer lifestyle was far less time consuming, in terms of gaining sustainance, than the pastoral agricultural lifestyle.

@AloofPeregrine It may have been that instead of feeling like slavery it was liberating to have some control of knowing that your next years rations were completely within your hands or rather more so than hunting and gathering. and it felt safer to be able to protect your people as they farmed vs disapeared for days or even weeks. often times coming home empty handed with stories of death and danger. Seems we'today have a romantic veiw on primitive time. We confuse it for camping and recreation
