Did we plough up the Garden of Eden?

All good and fine but the Asian east has good rainfall, hi-IQ people, thus is a natural for early development of agriculture... thus moving away from hunting gathering... likely coinciding with the retreat of ice age glaciers and world getting warmer

Iraq's legendary Garden of Eden marsh faces restoration What a great story! I wonder if this story will make the news like all the killing does

They are holding it back until Jan 20th and will be released if and only if the dems win both houses.

I see Oannes as I would see a shaman wearing the head and skin of an animal.

I would look to AFrica for the garden of eden.

A fish, though?

Job of the Bible hears from a retainer that "the fire of God is fallen from heaven and hath burned up the sheep [to the number of 7000], and the servants, and consumed them, and I only am escaped alone to tell thee." (In our days cases of a score or more animals being electrocuted by a lightning bolt are recorded.) There begins then the woes of the stubbornly patient Job against frightful divine tests. It is only one of many references to naturally caused combustion in the Bible. The story of Job may be exceedingly old; there Elohim (Heavenly One) is addressed; it happened in full Neolithic times, perhaps at the ending of the age of predominantly Saturn worship [6] .

Later in reference to fire is the "flaming sword", east of the Garden of Eden, "which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life." This was after the "Fall from Grace." [7] The image of a sword in the sky may refer to the Great Central Fire of early Greek Philosophy...

A Fish?

Only if this is a bird...lol

I learned way back in Hebrew school that the Garden of Eden was where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers met in the south

I'm puzzled. These references are pre-Noah's Flood, correct?

And Noah's Flood changed everything, right?

So how did these two rivers survive the Flood and remain the same today?

As for the structure being buried ... filling a stone structure with packed earth is a good way to protect it from damage if you believe there's trouble coming.

One day, far in the future, archaeologists will find Jet aircraft that were buried in the desert by Saddam. Wonder what they will think?

White Oak acorns are sweet, and in North America there are also Beech nuts, black walnuts, butternuts etc..

As schoolchildren here in California, we were taught about the Costanoan Indians and all the elaborate steps they had to take to render the live oak (a type of black oak, it has the "spiny" leaves) acorns edible. Gather and hull, grind and leach, leach, leach all that nasty tannin away.
