    About this ebook

    The Bible reveals two Edens – the spiritual Eden and the physical Eden.
    God, Adam, Eve and Satan all dwell in the spiritual Eden, as mythical symbols.
    There is also the physical Eden in which flowed rivers that continue to flow today. A careful inquiry into their sources would lead us to the actual location of Eden, the geographical entity. The sites the various religious pundits have pinpointed are all so disparate and mired in controversy. Identifying the exact location of the Garden of Eden is tantamount to identifying the first settlement of the human race after the Great Flood. This identification will shed more light on the geography, history and anthropology of our land and lead us to a greater understanding of the truth, which in its turn would release us from the burden of several of our blind beliefs.
    This book is a result of an extensive research that shows the light on finding the physical Eden at present.

    Location of Eden - Abraham Benhur

    Introduction

    Finding logic in legends is at best a wild goose chase. That is because the legends have very little or no evidentiary support. The Biblical account of the origin of man and his progression in the world is one such legend without scientific evidence and even logic as we understand the terms today. But scholars and curious minds refuse to abandon the subject as a matter of pure myth. Mainly because there are verifiable historical and physical references in them. The Garden of Eden into which God is believed to have put down His most favoured creation – man – is a legend which has aroused the curiosity of a large number of scholars. Their aim was to locate the place on earth. Their enquiry was prompted by the references to surviving rivers as flowing around the place.

    Their conclusions have only added to the confusion. Places as far apart as the Indo-Gangetic basin, the Euphrates-Tigris basin and the Nile delta in Africa have been proferred as the Garden of Eden.

    It is into this difficult terrain that Mr Abraham Benhur has ventured with his unbounded curiosity and enthusiasm. He combines scholarship with adventurous intuition, bordering on impetuosity, to come to conclusions which, if conceded, may prove to be so obvious and, who knows, decisive. Scholars may disagree or find different channels of logic and frame new theories. But all such theories will remain theories until concrete evidences are available. Until then - which appears a remote possibility - the conclusions of Mr Abraham Benhur, too, will be counted among works of scholarship.

    What he presents here is in fact only the first part of a seminal study into the progress of man the author has undertaken, entitled The Great Human Path, starting with the story of the great flood in the Bible. He finds parallel stories in other cultures and distant continents and begins his account of the progress of mankind with Noah as the sole patriarch of all the humans who survived. It is a fascinating enquiry and it may prove to be path-breaking.

    LOCATION OF EDEN

    Open my eyes that I may look

    at the wonderful things out of Your law - Psalms 119:18.

    Eden, the garden in which the first human was settled after his creation, is among the fundamental beliefs of the Christian, Muslim and Jewish peoples, who among them form the preponderant majority of the world’s population. The Biblical account of the garden in which Adam and Eve were settled ranks among the great classical mysteries of the world, mainly because of the vague description of the place. But the mention of the two rivers -the Euphrates and the Tigris - flowing around the garden being geographically and historically verifiable gives the mystery a status that cannot be written off as a mere legend. This is the basis of the enquiry, in the light of ethnography and ethno-archaeology, to find the historical and geographical entity of Eden – the physical Eden.

    The Bible reveals two Edens – the spiritual Eden and the physical Eden. God, Adam, Eve and Satan all dwell in the spiritual Eden, as mythical symbols. There is also the physical Eden in which flowed rivers that continue to flow today. A careful inquiry into their sources would lead us to the actual location of Eden, the geographical entity. The sites the various religious pundits have pinpointed are all so disparate and mired in controversy. Identifying the exact location of the Garden of Eden is tantamount to identifying the first settlement of the human race. This identification will shed more light on the geography, history and anthropology of our land and lead us to a greater understanding of the truth, which in its turn would release us from the burden of several of our blind beliefs.
