Garden of Eden? It was in what is now Ventura County, California.

What a great find. Doubt it is Eden.

The archaeologist in charge of the dig believes that this artwork once stood in Eden.I wasn't aware that Adam and Eve had time to sculpt anything before they were driven out of the garden.

Eden was close to the Afar triangle in Africa across from Yemen. The main city is called Aden to this day.

Kashmir...most likely where the 'Garden of Eden' was located.
The tree of knowledge, is it still there? If so are the Angels still on guard not allowing anyone to enter in?

Perhaps they were grieving for their lost innocence. Sounds like a legitimate concern for ancient people.

I think the Eden passages of the Bible describe the development of intellect as humans evolved. We are given the gift of knowledge and self realization (the only animal on earth that can say 'I am alive and someday I will die'), and earlier more apelike ancestors did not have this brain capacity.
The fact that this story is included in the Bible helps me to believe more strongly that the Bible was truly inspired by God and written by man, as ancient man could not have known nor constructed a perfect parable for the development and evolution of the intellect.

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.

Amazing. In terms of art history, some of the earliest finds have been the Chauvet Cave, Vallon-Pont-d'Arc, believed to be 30,000-28,000 BC; the Venus of Willendorf (Austria) to be 28,000-25000 BC. There's also the "waterworn pebble" resembling a human face from Makapansgat South Africa at 3,000,000 BC.
I'm not sure how the experts determine the timelines.
