It is only about 2300 years old. The oldest material in Genesis, represented by the King Lists, dates to about 4000 years ago.<br /><br />"Eden" is derived from the Nilo-Saharan word "egan" meaning virgin forest. This was a huge area according to Genesis 3, extending from the wet, forested Sahara to the Tigris-Euphrates Valley. Alice C.

Chapter 8 in the Book of Jubilees describes the inheritances of Noah's three sons in reference to the Garden of Eden, especically Shem and Ham where Shem's land is to the East of the Garden of and Ham's land is to the West. With reference locations such as the mountain range of Rafa, the Tina river, and the <br />sea of Me'at, the information that I have researched does not place the Garden of Eden in West Central Africa. Do you think that the location of the Garden of Eden may have shifted over time? It is my opinion that the Garden of Eden might have been an etimology of the expanse of the Kushite ruled/occupied territories with its origins in West Central Africa.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622678817923393724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688820610845171516.post-27999524312538412512014-11-15T02:19:39.474-08:002014-11-15T02:19:39.474-08:00https://www.academia.edu/2083902/Boat_Petroglyphs_...https://www.academia.edu/2083902/Boat_Petroglyphs_in_Egypts_Central_Eastern_Desert<br />Alice C.

This hypothesis has been doubted from the beginning. Both accounts have a hero and a flood, and that's it.<br /><br />G-fer could also have a Nilotic origin. Fer means "house" in Ancient Egyptian. See this for some idea of what the 'G' gyph might have meant: Rudder? Place where Captain sits?<br /><br /><br /><br />Alice C.

When it comes to sinful behavior there isn't anything new under the Sun.<br /><br />There is a tendency in the Biblical narratives to view catastrophic events experienced by the Jews and their Horim as divine punishment. This is the voice of the Deuteronomist, a final hand on the Old Testament.Alice C.
