An engineer made a startling claim that the Garden of Eden - where the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, lived - has been found in a surprising region of the world.

Mahmood Jawaid, a chemical engineer based in Texas, contends that the Garden of Eden is in Bahir Dar, a region in northwestern Ethiopia near where the Blue Nile begins, departing from a widely accepted hypothesis that it can be found in the Middle East.

In a recent study, which has not been peer reviewed, Jawaid claims that after reading both the Bible and the Quran, as well as analyzing descriptions of both Adam and Eve, the Blue Nile could correspond to the Biblical Gihon.

Early human evolution also proposes that Adam may have evolved from Homo habilis or a late form of Australopithecus in the East African Rift Valley near Olduvai Gorge, a region considered a cradle of humanity, the Daily Mail reports.

From there, Adam and Eve could have been "placed" in the highlands of Bahir Dar, before descending.

"All clues point to Bahir Dar, near Lake Tana, a region of striking beauty, abundant vegetation, and the source of the Blue Nile, which fits the ancient description of Eden's rivers," Jawaid wrote.

the issue with trying to locate the garden using current geographical features is that the flood apparently re-modified the outer layer of the earth. the names of geographical features today do not correspond with what they were pre-flood. and using the quran for anything biblical is shooting yourself in the foot.

in any case, i believe if there was such a location, it may have been a little bit further south in what is today botswana in the area of the okovango delta. it is where those who bear the mitochondrial dna 'L0' otherwise known as "mitochondrial eve" originate and, ironically, they were snake worshippers. made a post about this before. their current descendants are the khoi-san.

Isnt Ethiopia the birthplace of humanity
probably, yeah. i mean it makes sense, some of us wandered off, ate different, had kids, over 100,000 years later we all live somewhere else and look different (an extremely simplified version of humans i admit):pachaha:

but the idea that two hands came down and balled up some mud and named it adam is just silly
