  1. Tigris-Euphrates river system. People search for the garden of Eden as some sort of garden or park in this river system. What is not realised is that the whole area is The Garden of Eden. The story of Adam and Eve is only symbolic. The whole region where civilisation developed is the Garden of Eden.

  2. I am originally Sumerian, living in Mesopotamia in the city of Uruk for 7000 years. My ancestors were here and we had supernatural powers and a soul different from the soul that exists in an ordinary human being.

  3. It was 7.5 thousand years back , and yes it was over night . Refugees from a highly well educated civilization arrived in Mesopotamia and began a whole new civilization. They had practised agriculture for about 3000 years when they arrived , they were also well versed with astronomy buy knew of 7 planets only. They already knew how to make electricity and electric batteries .
    They fled their land bcuz they had back stabbed their king and their own scientist sage community , and even through they were ahead of the ppl in Mesopotamia when they arrived , they were nothing compared to the land they came from and certainly their moral were questionable. They had proved that they were not to be trusted . There ppl laid foundation for Mesopotamia “greatness” , and as u can see there is still no peace in Syria, Iran , etc .

  4. Passed over the Sumerians? Hmm … BTW, humanity was born with a pen in hand. They were never illiterate. Adam was not a hillbilly country bumpkin. Can an illiterate build the ocean going ark that preserved the one family though the flood?

  5. Way before any of these civilizations , Sindhu- valley civilization had already mastered these arts, including art of warfare , sofisticated mathematics, Grammer, economics, banking system, astronomy, astrology, metallurgy, smithy, weaving, pottery ….list is endless, with all the proof under the dun. Even though musalmaans burnt down our ancient libraries and temples.

  6. I am an Atheist.😊
    I do not believe in the existence of God. There is no evidence to support the belief in any gods or supernatural entities. I rely on science, reason, logic, and empirical evidence to form my worldview and have not found compelling evidence or arguments to support the existence of God. The universe is governed by natural laws and forces, rather than moral, spiritual, or supernatural ones. As an atheist, I reject religious dogma, supernaturalism, and superstition as the basis of morality and decision-making. I emphasize the social and empirical nature of inquiry and prioritize scientific solutions to intellectual problems. There is an intrinsic intellectual conflict between faith and science, and that it inevitably leads to hostility. I am engaged in a continually evolving search for truth, primarily through science and philosophy.

  7. Mesopotamia basically was Kurdistan, but now it’s all divided up between the region. There was no Turk in that land, the Arabs also came to that land with islam growing religion, and the Persian know that very well that Kurd is their great grandfather. Only Kurdish were living in that land with different names
