There’s several Scandinavian scholars that say when Enoch was “taken away”, North was the direction, not Up ;)

Chanokh may not have been "translated" at all. It is quite possible that he simply died at a very young age (365), and back in those days death at such a young age shook people up.

I have read somewhere that Chanokh's life was cut short because he was a mystic and sometimes mystics wade into dangerous waters and have to be niftar for their own good. Both the Rabbi Isaac Luria (the ARIZa"L) and Rabbi 'Aryeh Kaplan died at age 37, which is probably on the level of 365 in the antediluvian age. Most Gedolim live well into their nineties or even to over a hundred.

'Eliyahu HaNavi' (zakhur latov), however, was most definitely translated and is still alive.

The early Viking chronicles say the original homeland of the Scandinavians js called Idunn (Eden) in southern Turkey, where the goddess Idunn gives the gods eternal youth with golden apples ;)
