Perhaps Sargon II's 30 beru to Dilmun is being reckoned from Bit-Ya'kin which after its fall to him, he receives from Dilmun's king tokens of submission, not wanting his city to suffer the same consequences as Dur-Ya'kin? What's "new" here? Perhaps scholars are _wrong_: Bit-Yakin is west of es-Samaua and Ur, _not_ east of Ur and Eridu? The so-called Babylonian World Map shows Bit-Ya'kin as _west_ of the Hilla channel Babylon is on, _not_ east, as proposed by scholars for over 100 years. Please consult my earlier videos in this series on Dilmun: Parts One through Three. Click on the following tinyurl for more details:

@Tomaz79 No apple which is a Medieval notion! Probably the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge was a fig from a fig tree, as after eating, fig leaves are made into aprons to cover nakedness (Genesis 6:7). The fruit of the Tree of life was probably dates from a date palm: compare Genesis 3:24 Cherubim guard the tree with Cherubim & Palm trees in Solomon's temple in Ezekiel 41:18. See my video on Eden's trees for more info.
