I think Eden is under the Persian Gulf somewhere. God placed an angel at the gates in order to keep folks from ever entering it. This digsite is not Eden.
I had forgotten about that! Thanks.
I thought that was just to keep Adam and Eve out. And kind of like The Arc of the Covenant later on. At the time of the Jews wandering their way to the Promised Land, it was strictly forbidden to touch the Arc. If anyone touched it, instant death, but later on, things changed and the temple where it was stored was raided and the Arc was stolen. So I wonder if the angel at The Garden of Eden was removed, too. Alot of things changed AD.
