And it was better for the majority of their followers that they did forget the grandeur of Eden they were not so likely to experience undue dissatisfaction with their less fortunate environment.

But long before Adam and Eve passed away, they recognized that their children and followers had gradually learned to forget the days of their glory in Eden. As it was, the death of Adam made little difference in the conduct of the affairs of his people. Had it not been for this foresight, pandemonium would have broken loose upon his death. It was indeed pathetic to observe this magnificent couple reduced to the status of the common flesh of the realm but they bore their diminished estate with grace and fortitude.Īdam wisely spent most of the time training his children and their associates in civil administration, educational methods, and religious devotions. Adam and Eve greatly missed their former home of beauty and tranquillity as well as their children who had been deported to Edentia. They found the first garden partially prepared for them, but the second had to be created by the labor of their own hands and in the "sweat of their faces." (Click to read more 76:0.0) LIFE IN MESOPOTAMIAĪs time passed in the second garden, the consequences of default became increasingly apparent. Now were the Adamites compelled to wrest a living from unprepared soil and to cope with the realities of life in the face of the natural hostilities and incompatibilities of mortal existence. The two rivers themselves were a good natural defense in those days, and a short way north of the second garden the Euphrates and Tigris came close together so that a defense wall extending fifty-six miles could be built for the protection of the territory to the south and between the rivers.Īfter getting settled in the new Eden, it became necessary to adopt crude methods of living it seemed entirely true that the ground had been cursed. This site was known to Adam as one of the three original selections of the committee assigned to choose possible locations for the Garden proposed by Van and Amadon. And here in this new location Adam and his helpers set themselves to work to build new homes and establish a new center of culture and religion. Adam found all of the desired territory vacated when he arrived. When word had reached the dwellers in the land of the second garden that the king and high priest of the Garden of Eden was marching on them, they had fled in haste to the eastern mountains. Finding it in flood tide, they remained camped on the plains west of the stream almost six weeks before they made their way across to the land between the rivers which was to become the second garden.

It required almost a full year for the caravan of Adam to reach the Euphrates River. She became the wife of Sargan, the chief of the northern blue races, and contributed to the advancement of the blue race of those times. Sansa grew up to be a woman of great ability. Eve took Sansa, the child of Laotta, to her bosom, and she was reared along with Cain. Laotta, the mother of Sansa, perished at the birth of her daughter Eve suffered much but survived, owing to superior strength. And many of those who were left behind later journeyed eastward to join the Adamites in their new valley home.Ĭain and Sansa were both born before the Adamic caravan had reached its destination between the rivers in Mesopotamia. The only way open was to the east, and so they journeyed eastward toward the then pleasant regions between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. They feared to go south the hills of that region were infested with hostile tribes. They could not go north the northern Nodites were already on the march toward Eden. When Adam elected to leave the first garden to the Nodites unopposed, he and his followers could not go west, for the Edenites had no boats suitable for such a marine adventure. The second, which was established after Adam and Eve were evicted from the first, was developed at the confluence of the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers - the location recorded in the Bible. The first Garden was located at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. There have been two Garden of Edens - specially constructed locations for Adam and Eve to inhabit.
