This episode suggests that the island of Bahrein, in the Persian Gulf, might be the ancient Mesopotamian land of Dilmun appearing in the Epic of Gilgamesh (circa 2700 BC). It is at Dilmun that a man and wife live forever, and animals do not kill and eat people as prey. The problem? Excavations at Dilmun/Bahrein reveal it is no earlier than circa 2000 BC, and Dilmun appears in texts at Uruk circa 3200 BC. A second problem is that some believe Hebrew 'EDEN is a recast of the Sumerian EDIN, the wilderness waste, of modern Iraq. Hebrew 'EDEN means "delight" whereas Sumerian EDIN describes uncultivated desert wilderness. In Sumerian Myth man is created in the midst of the EDIN to care for the gods city-gardens, to alleviate the gods of toil. These gardens provide food for the gods, who would otherwise starve to death, having bodies of flesh and blood in early myths. Man's purpose in life is to feed the gods, the produce of EDIN'S Gardens,assuring the gods don't die of starvation. EDIN'S gardens are watered via canals and irrigation ditches. Genesis refutes all of this. There are not many gods, there is only one God. Every Sumerian city had a god's garden, so there were many gardens in the EDIN, all of which were located adjacent to EDIN'S two rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates. Genesis refutes this, there is only one god, so there is only one garden in EDEN. There are more than two rivers in Genesis, there are four, the Tigris, Euphrates, Gihon and Pishon. The Mesopotamians understand that man is a sinner because he was made in the image of sinner-gods who are portrayed in engaging in all the dastardly deeds of mankind: lies, rape, sex with daughters, sex with mothers, sex with homosexuals, sex with animals, murders, drunkeness, and contempt for man as their gardening slave, to be exploited without mercy.
