This sounds very much like the remains of the copper mine and Sumerian-style Ziggurat north of Sohar visited by Thor Heyerdahl and his guide, the Italian Archaeologist Paolo Costa. These ruins are described in Heyerdahl's book "The Tigis Expedition" (1981, pp.206-218).
Kitnkaat noted that Wu Mingren (alias DHWTY) had failed to establish why he thought Eridu might be the Garden of Eden. She is correct. My research agrees, however, to a degree, with DHWTY’s assertion, Eridu is indeed behind the Bible’s Garden of Eden. I understand that Genesis’ Garden of Eden account is an ANTI-THESIS, in response to and in refutation of, an earlier Mesopotamian THESIS, regarding the origins of man. Where he was created, when, why, and by whom? In one Sumerian and later Babylonian myth, Man is being created of EDIN’S clay, which is over the Apsu at Eridu. The god of Eridu, Sumerian Enki, Babylonian EA, dwells in a subterranean ocean, the Abzu/Apsu. He creates man to relieve the Igigi gods of toil in his garden of EDIN at Eridu. Poems praise Enki and speak of him creating a fruit-tree garden, and he is described as being like an ushumgal, standing in the garden’s midst. An ushumgal is a Sumerian dragon, an epithet given Enki in several poems. The ushumgal had four legs, two wings, two horns, and a serpentine body, with sharp teeth that delivered a poisonous bite. Thus Eridu’s ushumgal, Enki, was man’s creator in one Mesopotamian myth. He created man to end a revolt among the junior gods, the Igigi, who objected to the back-breaking work in clearing irrigation ditches feeding the fruit-tree garden at Eridu of clogging sediments. Man is created to replace the Igigi. Now the junior gods can rest from physical gardening toil like the senior gods, the Annunaki. This is presented in a somewaht similar story of the god Enlil at Nippur (man being created to replace the rebel Igigi gods who object to toil in EDIN’S garden at Nippur). Every Sumerian city had a god’s garden that man worked on the god’s behalf, alleviating the gods of gardening toil. So, in pre-biblical myths, there were many gods’ gardens in the EDIN. All this is refuted in Genesis, there is only one God, Yahweh-Elohim, and thus there is by default, only one garden in EDEN. Because Eridu is the first city in Mesopotamian myths, it becomes the model for all the later cities and their gods’ city-gardens of fruit trees that man cares for on the gods’ behalf. My two books cover all this in greater depth, written in 2010, and available on the internet from several book sellers, (1) The Garden of Eden Myth: Its Pre-biblical Origin in Mesopotamian Myths, and (2) Eden’s Serpent: Its Mesopotamian Origin. I also have website, www.bibleorigins.net that I have posted this research to, just google “mattfeld, garden of Eden,” for more info.
The conflict of species has caused many of the problems in today’s world.
Neadrathals interbred with cro magnon – the cro magnon women died in child brirth due to the large head of the neadrathal babies. The cro magnon man interbred with Neadratthal women to give birth to a priveledged ‘ethnicity’
It was only 60 years ago when man tried to eliminate the neadrathal from the gene pool.
He saw himself more of a roman emperor than a king I think, as on the coinage, his head was dressed in olive leaves.
He came to power through control of the military you see and suppressing mutinies and riots.
He also moved squatters out of the common lands, gave it to farmers and forced a lot of now homeless people into towns to work for employers through erosion of their rights.
Industrialists would have liked him, that's a bout it!
Drinking blood is forbidden in the bible. And for a good reason. Disease . All this article is bogus. It would take a sick person and one with a strong stomach indeed to ingest Menstrual blood. I would like to see the documentation behind this post. I doubt there is any.
Never occurred to me to write to the queen – although that end salutation would be wrong for me, I am an American citizen and we are not her humble and obedient servant … I think there wa a war about that a few hundred years ago.
Please would somebody explain clearly, the precise mechanics of how the said analysis can determine the said statement
"The isotope analysis also identified several individual people, including a nine year-old child born in North Africa who had lived in France during their childhood,"
The article appears to shy away from the ancient and major religion of Japan today. Is this intentional, perhaps? I get the feeling that in this web site is leaning towards the fanatical side of Christianity.
My reasoning is that Buddhism is tolerated in Japan but the major belief is that which Christians would term Pagan.
In Japan it is termed 'Shinto'.
Before Christianity was forced upon my revered ancestors at the point of a sharp sword, the two beliefs were very similar in many respects.
With the advent of the (controlling) new system our heathen beliefs had to go in order for the new system to inveigle Pagan out of the picture, which is still in place today.
I ask that you do not confuse Pagan with Satanism as Satanism is a Christian religion. Satan does not exist in Pagan belief.
Satan actually equates to Saturn, the planet. Before Christianity demonised Astrology, Saturn was and is deeply revered by many, almost to the point of fear and in some cases fear for those who lack understanding. Saturn was demonised and injected into, to rid the Western world of a valid belief system.
Fear is the preferred weapon of authority.
All media has an intention. Is it coincidence that this article avoids mentioning the Shinto and is A O is a little more than pro Christian? It seems so, by avoiding the mention of the word 'Shinto'.
The building was and is and always will be a Shinto shrine, I do not use the word, temple, deliberately. Temple is in a Christian persons lexicon, not Pagan.
Why were they not immediately arrested? Thoughtless sensless destruction, they should be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law. If they were strung up by their soft parts and publicized I’ll bet thet would convince others not to do it.

Nasty stuff, but plentiful and relatively cheap– they used it for lots of other things as well.
Well if this article is correct, than that would make Mohammad a liar as being the author of the Quran.

He's a character in a myth , so....

Stan Gooch & Michael Bradley have excellent papers on this.
Some people have more Neadrathal DNA than others.
Place a skull cap on a neadrathal and you have a modern day Rabbi
Bravo!

William The Conqueror and William FitzOsbern both my direct line.
I knew it. I didn't know where the Picts came from however.
It is not on Ararat but in that Mountain range.

Oh and another thing. Would you people please leave my ancestors alone.

I’ve always believed there was a second sphinx. All the others around the world are in pairs so the one in Egypt should be too.
Also, the website link and www.gerrysarkquest.com both lead to a Japanese site
